76 cm of mercury column is a measure of atmospherice pressure. Express it is `N//m^2` Given density of mercury is `13.6xx10^3 kg//m^3`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
`1.01xx10^5 N//m^2`
`P = h rho g`
`=((76)/(100)m)(13.6xx10^3kg//m^3)xx(9.8m//s^2)`
`P = 1.01 xx10^5 N//^2`
