It works by a control mechanism called negative feedback, and the thermostat is measuring the temperature and then sending a signal to a heater somewhere.

是通过一种叫做负反馈的控制机制,探测器测量温度,再把信号传给加热器

It's tabulated in books, and this we can measure p in the experiment. Delta p here is the change in pressure from the left side to the right side, and we can put a thermometer, measure the temperature before the experiment and measure the temperature after the experiment.

这列在书上，这个量我们在,实验中也可以测量，在这里Δ,是从左边到右边的压强变化，我们可以放一个温度计，去测量实验前的温度,再去测量试验后的温度。

That's how by either balancing the unknown force with a known force or by simply measuring the acceleration as I fall towards this podium and multiplying by mass, you can find the force that exerts on me.

我们既可以让未知力与已知力平衡,也可以只测量我冲向讲台时加速度的大小,再与我的质量相乘,都能求出作用在我身上的力的大小
