Pressure with Two Liquids, Hg and Water. An open test tube at 293 K is filled at the bottom with 12.1 cm of Hg, and 5.6 cm of water is placed above the Hg. Calculate the pressure at the bottom of the test tube if the atmospheric pressure is 756 mm Hg. Use a density of 13.55 g/cm3 for Hg and 0.998 g/cm3 for water. Give the answer in terms of dyn/cm2, psia, and kN/m2. See Appendix A.1 for conversion factors. |
