...level of the mercury in the dish. The force which sustains the column of mercury at this height is the pressure of the air on the surface of the mercury in the dish. The downward pressure of the air, due to the weight of the air, is transmitted to the mercury... | |

...three-way cock E is turned so as to shut the communication with D and open that between B and C. As the pressure of the air on the surface of the mercury in B diminishes the mercury falls both in A and in /, leaving a Torricellian vacuum above it, and, as... | |
