Find the value of atmospheric pressure when the height of the mercury column in a barometer is 76.0 cm. Density of mercury is 3 13.6 10 × kg/m^3.
Added by Santiago M.
Step 1
Given: Height of mercury column = 76.0 cm 1 m = 100 cm Height of mercury column = 76.0 cm * (1 m / 100 cm) = 0.76 m Show more…

Mercury has a density of $13.55 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{cm}^{3}$. A barometer is constructed using an oil with a density of $0.75 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{cm}^{3} .$ If the atmospheric pressure is 1.0 atm, calculate the height in meters of the oil column in the barometer.
At a pressure of 937 mbar, what would be the corresponding height of the mercury in the column of a mercury barometer?Express your answer numerically in millimeters of mercury.
