Pressure = Force / Area
Force = mass of the column g
mass of the column = Volume density
Volume = Area Height
=> Pressure = Volumedensity/ Area = AreaHeightdensityg /Area = Heightdensityg
=> Height of mercury density of mercury g = height of water densidty of water g
=> height of mercury density of mercury = height of water density of water =>
height of water = height of mercury density of mercury / density of water
height of water = 727 mmHg * 13.5 g/mL / 1.00 g/mL = 9,814.5 mmH20 =
= 981. 45 cm H2O.
Answer: 981 cm H2O
