The document discusses atmospheric pressure and how it is measured using barometers, specifically describing Evangelista Torricelli's pioneering experiment that used a mercury-filled tube to demonstrate that atmospheric pressure decreases with elevation. Standard atmospheric pressure is also defined as a reference point for gas properties at sea level, and different types of barometers like aneroid barometers are commonly used to measure changes in air pressure.
This is the PowerPoint presentation for students of grade 10. Here you will get a chance to know about the Laws of pressure, liquid pressure, Upthrust, Archimede's Principle, Density and Thermometer. Everything is briefly explained as notes with proper experimental verification, examples, and some other interesting facts about this lesson.

Los fluidos en reposo o en movimiento uniforme en equilibrio deberán estar libres de esfuerzos cortantes pues no los soportan. Se define como gravedad específica de una sustancia la razón entre su densidad y la densidad del agua. También se le llama densidad específica.

Passive Voice
In passive sentences, the subject of the verb is
not the person or thing (the “agent”) doing the
action.
Structure
Subject + auxiliary verb (be) + main verb (past participle) + (by) +…

Use of the Passive Voice
We use the passive when:
We want to make the active object
more important.
We do not know the active subject.

Atmospheric pressure
Atmospheric pressure is the force per unit
area exerted into a surface by the weight of air
above that surface in the atmosphere of Earth.
In most circumstances atmospheric pressure is
closely approximated by the hydrostatic
pressure caused by the weight of air above the
measurement point. Low-pressure areas have
less atmospheric mass above their
location, whereas high-pressure areas have
more atmospheric mass above their location.
Likewise, as elevation increases, there is less
overlying atmospheric mass, so that pressure
decreases with increasing elevation.
19. Standard Atmospheric Pressure
Standard Atmospheric Pressure (atm) is used as
a reference for gas densities and volumes. The
Standard Atmospheric Pressure is defined at
sea-level at 273oK (0oC) and is 1.01325 bar or
101325 Pa (absolute). The temperature of 293oK
(20oC) is also used.
20. Measuring Atmospheric
Pressure
Any instrument that measures air pressure is called
a barometer. The first measurement of atmospheric
pressure began with a simple experiment performed
by Evangelista Torricelli in 1643. In his experiment,
Torricelli immersed a tube, sealed at one end, into a
container of mercury. Atmospheric pressure then
forced the mercury up into the tube to a level that
was considerably higher than the mercury in the
container. Torricelli noticed that height of the
mercury varied with changes in outside weather
conditions. The most common type of barometer
used in homes is the aneroid barometer
