Garde, Ira Batra
Journal of Chemical Education, v63 n9 p796-97 Sep 1986
Discusses some of the difficulties in the measurement of pressure, including the use of open-ended and closed-ended manometers. Suggests the use of an analogy of a child's seesaw in teaching about manometers. Includes diagrams showing how various positions and weights on a seesaw compare with different pressure measurements.
