the hight of the mercury collomn in a barometer in a culcutta laboratory was recorded to be 75 cm. calculate this pressure in SI and CGS unit using the following data :- specific gravity of the mercury = 13.6, density of water = 10^3 kg/m^3 , g= 9.8 m/s^2 at calcutta.

Expert Answer:
Given :
Height of the column =75 cm = 75 × 10-2 m
Density of mercury = 13.6 × 10 3 kg/m 3
g = 9.8 m / s 2
In SI units:
In CGS units:
or

Density of mercury = 13.6 × 10 3 kg/m 3
g = 9.8 m / s 2
