Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
A column of mercury (density = 13, 600 kg/m3) has a height of 74 cm. Using pressure = d x g x h and SI units (d is density), calculate the pressure at the bottom of the column.
A
640, 100 N
B
100, 640 N
C
100, 640 Pa
D
600, 100 Pa
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -It can be measured using mercury in the equation atmospheric pressure = density of mercury x acceleration due to gravity x height of column of mercury.

Detailed explanation-2: -(a) P=wgh=(1000 kg/m3)(9.81 m/s2)(0.76 m)=7450 N/
