Calculate the height of the water column that exerts the same pressure as a 760 mm high Hg column. The density of Hg is 13.5951 g/cm³ and that of water is 1 g/cm³. Give the result in meters.

Mercury (Hg) can be used in a barometer to measure air pressure, based on how tall a column of mercury can be supported by the pressure of the atmosphere or another gas sample. The barometric reading a specific day was 743.8 mm Hg. If the interior circumference of the tube holding the mercury is 9.82 mm, what is the mass of mercury in the tube (above the pool of mercury)? The column may be treated as a cylinder. Mercury has a density of 13.55 g/mL.

Mercury (Hg) can be used in a barometer to measure air pressure based on how tall a column of mercury can be supported by the pressure of the atmosphere or another gas sample. The barometric reading taken at Skyline College on a specific day was 743.8 mm Hg. If the interior circumference of the tube holding the mercury is 9.82 mm, what is the mass of the mercury in the tube (above the pool of mercury)? The column may be treated as a cylinder. Mercury has a density of 13.55 g/mL.
