Oh I see what you did here! Converting 0.05m to mm will give me mmHg. Thank you :)

I have worked this out and have gotten an answer of a 0.05m column of Mercury is equivalent to 0.7m of water. However I'm unsure how to use this in the calculation?

I have now tried this and this gives me the right answer of 51.5mmHg however I don't understand why I would not add atmospheric pressure?

Homework Statement If you have a manometer with a 70cm tall water column, what is the largest pressure that can be measured? Assume that the densities of water and mercury are 1000 kg/m3 and 13 600 kg/m3 respectively Homework Equations P=pgh+Patm The Attempt at a Solution I've attempted this...
