Suppose you were to construct a barometer using a fluid with a density of 1.22 g/mL. How high would the liquid level be in this barometer if the atmospheric pressure was 755 torr? (Mercury has a density of 13.6 g/mL.)

Answer 1

The liquid in this barometer would be 8416.393 milimeters. Explanation: Since hydrostatic pressure is directly proportional to fluid density ( ),
