Your 'measuring atmospheric pressure' report has been received. Scroll down through the document to see any comments I might have inserted, and my final comment at the end.

** Measuring Atmospheric Pressure_labelMessages **

I submitted this already and was wondering if you had received it because it is not on my access page. I'll resubmit just in case.

When you squeeze the bottle, the water moves up the vertical tube and the air in the end of the pressure tube is compressed a little bit further the further the water moves up and bottle is squeezed.

I used the rulers that were reduced that looked to be about half the size of the real measurement of a centimeter to be able to measure more closely but be able to clearly read the marks still.

The length of the air column is 53 (smaller than regular) cm. I obtained the result by measuring both ends and marking them, then finding the length with them.

15 cm 53 73.1, 75.2 73.2, 75.5 73.1, 75.3 73.3, 75.6 73.2, 75.5 I obtained this information by using the directions to follow them out on the system I set up, and this information shows the amount of pressure applied to the bottle since the pressure of the two change in the same amount.

25 cm 53 73.1, 77.0 73.2, 77.2 73.1, 77.1 73.1, 76.9 73.2, 77.3

35 cm 53 73.0, 79.1 73.1, 79.3 73.1, 79.0 73.2, 79.2 73.2, 79.1
