A pressure of \(1 \mathrm{~mm}\) of mercury is equivalent to

  1. A \(1 \mathrm{mPa}\)
  2. B \(13.33 \mathrm{~Pa}\)
  3. C \(133.3 \mathrm{~Pa}\)
  4. D \(133.3 \mathrm{~Pa}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(133.3 \mathrm{~Pa}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Height of mercury column \[ h=1 \mathrm{~mm}=10^{-3} \mathrm{~m} \] Density of mercury, \(\rho=13.6 \times 10^3 \mathrm{~kg} \mathrm{~m}^{-3}\) \[ g=9.8 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2} \] \(\therefore\) Pressure, \(p=\rho g h\)…
