Determine the atmospheric pressure at a location where the barometric reading is $750 \mathrm{mmHg}$. Take the density of mercury to be $13,600 \mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{m}^{3}$
Determine the atmospheric pressure at a location where the barometric reading is 740 mmHg and the gravitational acceleration is g = 9.805 m/s2. Assume the temperature of mercury to be 10°C, at which its density is 13,570 kg/m3.
