प्रश्न
Draw a simple labelled diagram of a Fortin barometer and state how it is used to measure the atmospheric pressure.
उत्तर
To measure the atmospheric pressure, first the leather cup is raised up or lowered down with the help of the screw S so that the ivory pointer I just touches the mercury level in the glass vessel. The position of the mercury level in the barometer tube is noted with the help of main scale and the vernier scale. The sum of the vernier scale reading to the main scale reading gives the barometric height.
