Calculating pressure
« on: November 13, 2011, 10:30:56 AM »
A closed-tube manometer is filled with a nmineal oil whose density is 0.857 g/cm^3. What is the pressure in mm Hg if you measure a height of the mineal oil equal to 79.3 mm? The density of mercury is given as 13.586 g/cm^3.


my attempt
79.3*0.857/13.586 = 5.00 mmHg
