About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1877 Excerpt: ...of the column which measures the pressure of the atmosphere. 503. There is still a third method of avoiding the necessity of two observations in order to know the height of the barometer. The bottom CD of the vessel denoted in Art. 489 is made so that it can move up and down without any leakage of mercury. Then when the instrument is to be consulted, the bottom is moved up or down so as to bring the surface of the mercury EF to one fixed level; this is effected by having a fine point projecting from the side of the vessel near its top, and making the surface of the mercury just touch this point. 501. Any other fluid might theoretically be used instead of mercury for the construction of a barometer, as for example water. The height of a column of water supported by the pressure of the atmosphere will be about 134 times the height of the column of mercury, because the weight of mercury, bulk for bulk, is about 13J times that of water. Hence the height of the water barometer would be rather less than 34 feet on an average; and this great height would obviously render the instrument somewhat unwieldy compared with the mercury barometer. Theoretically the water barometer would have the advantage of enabling us to discriminate more accurately the ever varying pressure of the atmosphere; for to a change of one-tenth of an inch in the height of the mercury barometer will correspond a change of more than an inch and a quarter in the water barometer. Thus in fact the scale of fluctuation is magnified as it were 13 J times, so that minute changes become much more conspicuous. On the other hand, water is more susceptible of evaporation than mercury, so that the space which ought to be a vacuum is practically less so for the water barometer than for the mercury baromete...
