volume of cylinder above the plug
V=AreaPlug*heightmercury (note volume in cm^3)
change volume to meters cubed
Vm^3=V/1E6
now the weight of the mercury in that cylinder is density*g*volume
force=that weight
V=AreaPlug*heightmercury (note volume in cm^3)
change volume to meters cubed
Vm^3=V/1E6
now the weight of the mercury in that cylinder is density*g*volume
