Answer 2

Thermometer is a medical equipment which is used for measuring the body temperature.

The mercury level inside the thermometer is the indicator of our body heat.

To make the mercury level stay at a neutral marking below the lowest count of the thermometer we physically shake the thermometer.

The shaking helps the mercury level of to get a neutral position inside the thermometer.
