If the column of water in the water bormeter rose to a height of 35 feet, what would the atmospheric pressure be in mm Hg?

Question

I believe it is (35 ft/density Hg) x (12 in/ft) x (25.4 mm/in) = ??. This neglects the vapor pressure of water that will be pushing down inside the water barometer.

(35ft/1)x(12in/1ft)x(25.4mm/1in) = 10,668 mmH2O using mmH2O x (density H2O/density Hg) = mmHg 10,668 mmH2O x (0.99707g/mL / 13.5340g/mL) 785.9 mmHg
