Given,

The density of the liquid,ρ=13600 kg/m^3

The atmospheric pressure, P₁=1.013×10⁵

The difference between the height of the liquid in the column, h=0.240 m

The pressure P is given by,


P=P_1+g\rho h

Where g is the acceleration due to gravity.

On substituting the known values,


P=1.013*10^5+9.8*13600*0.240=1.33*10^5\text{ Pa}

Hence pressure, P=1.33×10⁵ Pa
