Michelle learns in science class that simple machines such as an inclined plane can change the amount of force needed to lift heavy objects. She decides to test this with an experiment. Michelle chooses a 10 kg weight. She sets up a ramp made of smooth metal that makes an angle θ with the floor. She attaches a spring scale to the weight and the top of the ramp in order to hold the weight in place. She records the force from the spring scale, then changes θ and records it again. She repeats this several times.

In this experiment, what is the outcome variable (dependent variable)?

A.

the angle θ between the ramp and the ground

B.

the mass of the weight

C.

the material the ramp is made of

D.

the amount of force on the spring scale

the amount of force on the spring scale

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.
