The height of mercury column in a barometer in the Kolkata laboratory was recorded to be 75 cm. Calculate the pressure at Kolkata in SI unit using the following data:
Density of mercury = `13.6xx10^(3)kgm^(-3)`, pressure = `rhogh`, where h is the height of mercury column, `rho` is the density of mercury, and g is the acceleration due to gravity)
