The figure below shows the apparatus used to examine the pressure of a gas. Taking density of mercury to be 13600kg/#m^3# and standard atmospheric pressure is 100,000N/#m^2#, calculate gas pressure

Answer Text:
Pa =dhg +pg
Ƥg = Ƥa - Ƥhg
= 100,000- 13,600 x
0.2 x 10
= 100,000- 2 + 27200
= 72,800 N/#m^2#
