Answer:

B

Explanation:

Pressure = density × g × height

[tex]p \: = (1.36 \times {10}^{4} )(10)(780 \times {10}^{ - 3} ) \\ p = 1.1 \times {10}^{5} [/tex]

The pressure of the atmosphere, when a barometer reads 780 mm Hg.    Mercury which a density of 1.36 x 10^4 kg /m^3 is B 1.1 x 10^5 N/m^2

This problem can be solved using the formula below

P = dgh................. Equation 1

Where P = Pressure of the atmosphere, d = density of the mercury, h = height of the mercury, g = acceleration due to gravity.

From the question,

Given: d = 1.36×10⁴ kg/m³, h = 780 mm = 0.78 m,

Constant: g = 10 m/s²

Substitute these values into equation 1

P = (1.36×10⁴)(10)(0.78)

P = 10.608×10⁴ N/m²

P ≈ 1.1×10⁵ N/m²

Hence the right answer is B. 1.1×10⁵ N/m²
