a) 36 cm H2O

b) 0.36 m H2O
c) Pgh = (1 000)(9.81)(0.36 + 10.3) = 1.05 x 105 Pa

o Density of mercury is higher than water.


o Mercury manometer do not require ling tube.
o Rate of evaporation for mercury is lower than water.

Difference in pressure = 180 kPa – 101 kPa = 79 kPa = 79 x 103 Pa


Pressure = pgh
79 x 103 = (13 600) (9.81) (h)
h = 0.60 m Hg
