Atmosphere $P_{atm} = 1 \text{ atm}$

Vacuum $P = 0$

Gas Bulb $P_{gas}$

$\Delta h$

Open Tube Manometer

Measures Gauge Pressure. The gas pressure is determined by balancing it against the atmospheric pressure and the hydrostatic pressure of the mercury column.

Height Diff. ($\Delta h$)

0 mm

$P_{atm}$

760 mmHg

$P_{gas}$ (Absolute)

760 mmHg

Principle of Equal Pressure:
$$P_{gas} = P_{atm} + \rho g h$$
*If level is lower on the gas side, $\Delta h$ is positive. If level is higher on the gas side, $\Delta h$ is negative.

Manometer Type

Adjust Gas Pressure ($P_{gas}$) 1.00 atm

Move slider to simulate pumping gas in or out of the bulb.
