The atmospheric pressure held in terms of the water column is
Step 1: Given data:
Pressure = Atmospheric pressure
Step 2: Formula used:
Step 3: Pressure
Step 4: Calculations:
Given,
(Density of mercury)
Let us assume the height of the water column as
Now, for water
Substituting the values, we get
Hence, the height of the water column at standard atmospheric pressure of 76 cm of mercury is .
