Calculate the height of a water column which will exert on its base the same pressure as the 70 cm column of mercury. Density of mercury is `13.6 "g cm"^(-3)`

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem of calculating the height of a water column that exerts the same pressure at its base as a 70 cm column of mercury, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between pressure, density, and height The pressure exerted by a fluid column can be expressed using the formula: \[ P = \rho g h \] where: - \( P \) is the pressure, - \( \rho \) is the density of the fluid, ...
