To solve the problem of finding the height of the water column when the mercury in the barometer is replaced by water, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between pressure, height, and density The pressure at a certain height in a fluid can be expressed using the formula: \[ P = h \cdot \rho \cdot g \] where: - \( P \) = pressure (in Pascals) - \( h \) = height of the fluid column (in meters) ...
