Height of the mercury column in a mercury barrometerat a peek of a mountain is
740mm. find the preesure at that position in pascle
To find the pressure at that position in pascals, we can use the equation:
Pressure = height × density × gravitational constant
First, we need to convert the height from millimeters to meters:
Height = 740 mm = 740/1000 = 0.74 meters
The density of mercury is approximately 13,595 kg/m³, and the gravitational constant is 9.8 m/s².
Using these values, we can calculate the pressure:
Pressure = 0.74 meters × 13,595 kg/m³ × 9.8 m/s²
Pressure ≈ 96,982.46 pascals
