in my physics class my professor drew the same thing and everyone thought he was drawing a DiICK! Guess what the professor said! : " I dont know where you get that from but that's not physics(Russian accent )
LISTEN TO SAL, THE HARDEST PART IS TO MAKE SURE YOUR UNITS ARE RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DON'T FORGET THAT!!! You will get a wrong answer in the test if you do. It will hurt a lot because one may think "wow I watched the whole video and understood it" and then one misses the smallest detail possible and it counts 0. Good vid.
@g37muflih force has to do with mass and accel/gravity. Pressure is force over an area. Force doesnt need to stay constant, but pressure in liquid does.
Why are you defining 1 atm as being at sealevel in Paris, France? It's not constant there, nor is it constant anywhere else. I guess you already know this, and I guess you just say it to simplify things, but it's quite important to know that pressure is dynamic (hence our dynamic weather)
@Joikakaker Yea, no shit it's dynamic. I hope you noticed that this is not an engineering type physics lecture, rather it's just the most basic, simple physics. Why complicate things even further when concepts are most important?
This series is wonderful. I'm taking an on line ap physics course and there is no audiovisual. You are a life saver.
One thing I don't understand. I did not see that you made reference to the diameter of the test tube. If the test tube took up almost the entire diameter of the bowl the mercury was in, wouldn't you have a tiny surface area of air pushing a large surface of mercury up. Why does the height not depend on the relative surface area of air and mercury?
just so no one memorizes it wrong: 1 atm= 101325 Pascals not 103000

Isn't 1 atm = 101325 ~ 101000 ? Or am I getting this wrong ?

is it just me or does the units not work out..?
isnt N= m*a = kg*m/s^2?
N =/= kg*m^2/s
wich means he will not end up with .77m in his answer..

@dinmorerengeit
You are right. The error was in his part when he said that an atmosphere was 103000 N/m^3, (almost at the end)
while it is actually 103000 N/m^2

Think you got your atm to pascal conversion wrong buddy. Cheers for the vid anyways.

Isn't 1 atm = 101.325 kPa or 101,325 Pa? :O
Other than that. You are probably one of, if not, the greatest Physics teachers alive.

@jonrty007 If he needed to round it off he could've at least just used 10^5 Pa, lawl.

why cant we call the atmospheric pressure as atmospheric force
g37muflih 11 months ago
@g37muflih The same reason why we can't call pressure as force.

@g37muflih force has to do with mass and accel/gravity. Pressure is force over an area. Force doesnt need to stay constant, but pressure in liquid does.

Ehm, in the formula (bottom right hand corner, you wrote 103,000N/m^3, when it should be m^2 :)...
Thanks a lot Sal!!!!

@jiggaluv123 I wouldn't say that saying that pressure is dynamic is very complicated, rather quite intuitive

he is talking about mercury when he refers to 13.6 g/cm^3 or 13,600 kg/m^3 which is the density of mercury :)
seekdragonflies 1 year ago
1 N = 1kgm/s^2 :|
And the value of 1 atm = 1.013 * 10^5 :|
Plus u cancelled the wrong values for the units :|

1 atm is equal to 101.3 kPa not 103 kPa, just a heads up. But very, very helpful video. I was sick for a day in AP physics and this caught me up

So does the mercury go into the tube because the atmospheric pressure basically pushes it into the tube?

That is true but there is 1000pa in one KpA, MOVE THE DECIMAL PLACE TO THE RIGHT AND YOU WILL OBTAIN 101,300PA. SAL WAS CORRECT
