What will happen to the height of the Mercury column of a barometer when the barometer is accelerated upwards assuming the value of g does not change with height?
I think the height will remain same because the weight of Mercury will increase just as weight of block increases in an upward accelerating lift and the pressure will also increase because the air molecules will hit the mercury surface harder
And if both the weight of mercury and air column would increase by same factor, then height of mercury column should remain same?
Am I correct?
Please correct me if I am wrong.
