Question

An open test tube at 293 K is filled at the bottom with 12.1 cm of Hg and 5.6 cm of water is placed above the Hg. Calculate the pressure at the bottom of the test tube if the atmospheric pressure is 756 mmHg. Use a density of 13.55 g/cm³ for Hg and 0.998 g/cm³ for water. Give the answer in terms of psi and kN/m².
