Say you have a giant mercury barometer. Let's suppose that the area exposed to atmospheric pressure is 1 square meter
Normal pressure at sea level is 101325 Pa
Lets say the variation in 24 hours in atmospheric pressure goes from a low of 100,000 Pa to a high of 102,000 Pa
Using
Pressure (Pa) = Force (N) / Area (m2)
I find that the change in pressure results in a Force of 2000N upon the mercury in the barometer.
Is this correct?
