Suppose you need to design a parachute system to help a remote camera land safely at the bottom of a cave. The camera will drop from a height of one story. It has a mass of about 500 g. A carton of eggs inside a box will model the camera. For your test to be successful, none of the eggs can break when the box lands. You may use string, plastic bags, paper, and any fabrics you have to make a model parachute. Identify the criteria and constraints. Describe your model and draw a picture of it. Describe how you could test your model and what you would do after the first test

a mercury barometer is a device that uses the physical properties of mercury in a tube to measure barometric pressure. mercury barometers are used for : -

1. measurement of atmospheric pressure  

2. determining the altitude of a place

3. weather forecasting

4. calibration and checking of aneroid barometers

5. application in fluid mechanics

6. measurement of pressure in aircrafts

7. surface weather analysis

8. preparation of barographs

9. usage in physical sciences like physics, astronomy & chemistry

10. preparation of aircraft altimeters

characteristics of mercury barometer : -

1.used to define and measure atmospheric pressure.

2.on the average at sea level the column of mercury rises to a height of about 760 mm.

3.this quantity is equal to 1 atmosphere.

4.it is also known as standard atmospheric pressure.

5.a barometer in which the weight of a column of mercury in a glass tube with a sealed top is balanced against that of the atmosphere pressing on an exposed cistern of mercury at the base of the mercury column, the height of the column varying with atmospheric pressure.
