Question:

In one observation, the column in a mercury barometer (as is shown in Figure) has a measured height h of 740.35 mm. The temperature is -5.0°C, at which temperature the density of mercury p is 1.3608 x 104 kg/m3. The free-fall acceleration g at the site of the barometer is 9.7835 m/s2. What is the atmospheric pressure at that site in Pascals and in torr (which is the common unit for barometer readings)?
