To calculate the height of the mercury column, we can use the formula for pressure:
P = ρgh
Where: P = pressure at the bottom of the column (50 N/m²) ρ = density of mercury (13600 kg/m³) g = acceleration due to gravity (9.81 m/s²) h = height of the mercury column
Plugging in the values, we get:
50 = 13600 * 9.81 * h 50 = 133416h h = 50 / 133416 h ≈ 0.000375 m
Therefore, the height of the mercury column is approximately 0.000375 meters.

Given:
- Density of mercury, ρ = 13600 kg/m³ - Pressure at the bottom of the column, P = 50 N/m²
To find:
- Height of the mercury column, h
Formula:
Pressure due to a liquid column = ρgh
where,
- g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.81 m/s²) - h is the height of the liquid column
Solution:
Substituting the given values into the formula, we get:
50 N/m² = 13600 kg/m³ - 9.81 m/s² - h
Solving for h:
h = 50 N/m² / (13600 kg/m³ - 9.81 m/s²)
h ≈ 0.0364 m
Therefore, the height of the mercury column is approximately 0.0364 meters.
