🔍 Key Concepts

• Difference between aneroid barometer and mercury barometer • Role of the flexible metal element that expands/contracts with pressure • Which option refers to a liquid column vs. a mechanical capsule/bellows

💭 Think About

• First, eliminate the choice that clearly belongs to a mercurial barometer, not an aneroid type. • Then, think about which terms describe a flexible, evacuated metal unit that moves when outside air pressure changes. • Ask yourself: which name here would most likely be used for the small, sealed metal unit inside many ship’s barometers and altimeters?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be sure you remove the option that involves a liquid column (that’s not used in aneroid types). • Focus on the options that describe some sort of bellows or capsule that can flex with changing air pressure. • Ask: which of the remaining terms is commonly used in descriptions of mechanical (non‑mercury) barometers and altimeters in navigation texts?
