Question

Why is mercury used in a barometer?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Mercury is employed in the barometer because its density is sufficiently high for a relative short column to be obtained. and also because it has very small vapour pressure at normal temperature. High density scales down the pressure head(h) to repesent same magnitude of pressure in a tube of smaller height.
