Asked by Sean Francis C. Nocete

7.1) The pressure in the esophagus is -10 mm Hg. Convert that pressure to centimeters of water, as it would be measured by a water manometer.

Note. Provide me a solution with formula used. Thanks!

The specific gravity of Hg is 13.6. So to translate the -10 mm Hg to water, we multiply -10mm by the specific of Hg to get -10mm*13.6= -136mm water.
