Torricelli, however, in 1643, made an experiment which gave the true explanation of the pump-maker's difficulty. Filling with mercury a glass tube three feet in length, and closed at one end but open at the other ; he closed the open end with his finger, and inverted the tube in a basin filled with mercury. The mercury then sank in the tube to a given level, whilst above this level there was an empty space, which...

The ordinary thermometer consists of a glass tube of uniform bore which has a bulb at one end. The bulb and part of the tube are filled with mercury. The remaining part of the tube is empty, so that the mercury can freely rise or fall. When the temperature rises, the mercury expands and rises, when the temperature falls, the mercury contracts and sinks.
Σελίδα 11 - Tho symbol (Ib.) for it is equally general, and is derived from the Latin word libra. The old English pound, which is said to have been the standard of weight from the time of William the conqueror till that of Henry VII., was derived from the weight of 7,680 grains of wheat, all taken from the middle of the ear, and well dried.
