Yanka [14]3 years ago

Answer: At sea level and at a temperature of 0° Celsius (C), the height of the mercury column is approximately 30 inches, or 76 centimeters. This represents a pressure of approximately 14.7 psia. The 30-inch column is used as a reference standard. Atmospheric pressure does not vary uniformly with altitude.

Since the atmospheric pressure at sea level is 760 millimeters of mercury, the dish of mercury would have to large enough to have enough mercury to allow the mercury to rise 760 millimeters up the tube (or 76cm)

Limb bones within unrelated animals that have the same basic structures are considered
nataly862011 [7]
If the animals are not closely related, but the structures are meant to serve the same function (structure determines function!) then the structures are analogous. The difference between analogous and homologous is that in analogous structures, the creatures are not closely related but the structure serves the same purpose (like bat wings/bird wings) and homologous structures are similar structures directly as a result of ancestry.
