Answer:

It ,means, the mercury rises to 13.6 cm in the barometer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The statement' Pressure of gas is 13.6cm of Hg'.

We know that,

(I). The pressure is equal to the force upon area.

(II). The gas pressure is the real force which is applied on the walls of container by the gas.

(III). The gas pressure is measured by barometer.

(IV). The standard atmospheric pressure is 760 mm of Hg and the density of Hg is 13.6 cm.

It means, when the pressure exerted on the wall then the mercury rises to 13.6 cm in the barometer

Hence, It ,means, the mercury rises to 13.6 cm in the barometer.
