Answer:
A mercury barometer is a device that is used to measure the atmospheric pressure at a given location. The barometer consists of a vertical glass tube which is closed at one end. The closed-end is at the top and it sits in the mercury-filled basin placed at the bottom. It is an absolute pressure gauge.
