the liquid in a barometer does not spill out. Really, for two reasons. One is in the barometer, there's a vacuum at the top, and the vacuum is pulling well. It's pulling because theater mus fear is pushing, so that's probably a better way to put it. And then the mercury is rising, and we have atmospheric pressure pushing down on the mercury because there's a vacuum up here than the height of the Mercury column equals the pressure of the atmosphere. So it's not spilling out because theater a sphere is pushing it in and keeps pushing it in according to the pressure of the atmosphere.
