Question

1.If the atmosphere can support a column of mercury 762 mm high at sea level, what height of water could be supported? The density of water is approximately 114 that of mercury.Answer in units of mm

2.If the atmosphere can support a column of mercury 762 mm high at sea level, what height of a hypothetical liquid with a density 1.40 times that of mercury could be supported?
Answer in units of mm

Answer 1

density x gravity x height = pressure
g/cc.......9.8.......m.......kPa

#1.
1.0 x 9.8 x h = (762/760)*101.325

2. You substitute.
