Answer 2

The statement is False. Thermometer is not used for measuring pressure.

Explanation:

Thermometer is an instrument that used for measuring temperature.

• In a thermometer, mercury (Hg) is contained in a sealed glass tube which contracts and expands as there is rise and fall in temperature. The scale on the glass gives the reading of degree of hotness or coldness of any body.

• Pressure is defined as force per unit area. Measurement of pressure is actually the analysis of applied force.

• In general, barometers are used for measuring atmospheric pressure. A barometer also uses mercury for observing its rise and fall in order to determine the air pressure.
• Other instruments for measuring pressure are manometers pressure gauge, piezometer etc.
