height with great accuracy. This barometerhas, moreover, the advantage that, as a tube an inch in diameter may beused, the influence of capillarity becomes inappreciable. Its construction,moreover, is very simple ; it has no scale, and any errors in reading thebarometric height are those which are… … Fig. 162 Fig. 163 -179] Determination of Heights by the Barometer i6i liquid used is pure glycerine. This has the specific gravity r26, and there-fore the length of the column of liquid is rather more than ten times that ofmercury ; hence small alterations in the atmospheric pressure produce…
