    How Does Atmospheric Pressure Affect Measurements in a Torricelli Barometer?

    Chestemiller, your comment surprises me! It appears my textbook has made a mistake with it's definition of Pascal's law! So, when is pressure transmitted though a fluid uniformly? And does this really have nothing to do with Pascal's law (what I mean is, do the special cases where pressure...

    How Does Atmospheric Pressure Affect Measurements in a Torricelli Barometer?

    I have a question about Pascal law. Recenly I was studying and I found this image in my physics book - a copy of the barometer which Torricelli used in his experiment (this is a redraw): Where the blue thing is the fluid (mercury), while the black thing is the container. According to my...
