A mercury manometer is used to measure the pressure (Pgas) of a gas enclosed in a container. On Earth, there is a height difference Ah between the two columns of mercury, as shown in the diagram. Po Pgas mercury This device is now taken to Jupiter (acceleration of gravity gup 24.79 m/s2) and used in an enclosure which is kept at the Earth's atmospheric pressure (Po = 101 kPa). What happens to Ah? Ah would increase Ah would not change Not enough information to tell Ah would decrease A mercury manometer is used to measure the pressure (Pgas) of a gas enclosed in a container.
