When a probe lands on an exoplanet's surface, its barometer measured an air pressure of 9,969 kPa. The surface acceleration due to gravity was measured to be 11.94 m/5?. If Earth's atmosphere with a pressure of 101 kPa raises mercury 0.760 m where gravitational acceleration is 9.81 m/5?. To what height in m to two significant digits would this exoplanet's atmosphere raise liquid mercury?
