AI Generated Solution

To determine the height of water in a barometer when mercury is replaced with water, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Concept of Barometer**: A barometer measures atmospheric pressure using a column of liquid. The height of the liquid column (in this case, mercury) is directly related to the atmospheric pressure. 2. **Know the Density of Mercury**: The density of mercury (ρ_mercury) is approximately 13.6 g/cm³. In SI units, this is equivalent to 13600 kg/m³. ...
