In one observation, the column in a mercury barometer (as is shown in Fig. ) has a measured height h of 740.35 mm. The temperature is `-5.0^(@)` C, at which temperature the density of mercury `rho` is `1.3608 xx 10^(4) kg//m^(3)` . The free-fall acceleration g at the site of the barometer is 9.7828 m/`s^(2)`. What is the atmospheric pressure at thal site in pascals and in torr (which is the common unit for barometer readings)?

Explanation

739.21 torr
