Calculate the height of a water column which will exert on its base the same pressure as the 70 cm column of mercury. Density of mercury is 13.6 g/cm^3.
Added by Dev D.
Step 1
Given: Height of mercury column (h) = 70 cm, Density of mercury (ρ) = 13.6 g/cm^3, Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 980 cm/s^2 Pressure (P) = h * ρ * g P = 70 cm * 13.6 g/cm^3 * 980 cm/s^2 P = 95200 g/cm s^2 Show more…
