Calculate the first and second velocities of the car with four washers attached to the pulley, using the formulas
v1 = 0.25 m / t1 , and v2 = 0.25 m / (t2 – t1)
where t1 and t2 are the average times the car took to reach the 0.25 and the 0.50 meter marks. Record these velocities, to two decimal places, in Table E.
What is the first velocity of the car with four washers at the 0.25 meter mark?
m/s
What is the second velocity of the car with four washers at the 0.50 meter mark?
m/s

0.13/0.36

Explanation:

a mercury barometer is a device that uses the physical properties of mercury in a tube to measure barometric pressure. mercury barometers are used for : -

1. measurement of atmospheric pressure  

2. determining the altitude of a place

3. weather forecasting

4. calibration and checking of aneroid barometers

5. application in fluid mechanics

6. measurement of pressure in aircrafts

7. surface weather analysis

8. preparation of barographs

9. usage in physical sciences like physics, astronomy & chemistry

10. preparation of aircraft altimeters

characteristics of mercury barometer : -

1.used to define and measure atmospheric pressure.

2.on the average at sea level the column of mercury rises to a height of about 760 mm.

3.this quantity is equal to 1 atmosphere.

4.it is also known as standard atmospheric pressure.

5.a barometer in which the weight of a column of mercury in a glass tube with a sealed top is balanced against that of the atmosphere pressing on an exposed cistern of mercury at the base of the mercury column, the height of the column varying with atmospheric pressure.

the temperature of the gas, in k, not celsius.
