A pressure that will support a column of Hg to a height of 256 mm would support a column of water to what height? The density of mercury is 13.6 g/cm³; the density of water is 1.00 g/cm³. A)1.00 × 10² ft B)18.8 mm C)33.8 ft D)76.0 cm E)348 cm

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The height of the water column can be calculated using the formula: (Height of Hg column) x (Density of Hg) / (Density of water). Substituting the given values: 256 mm x 13.6 / 1.00 = 3481.6 mm, which is approximately 348 cm.
