Pressure — practice question

A manometer is filled with mercury of density $14\,000\,\text{kg m}^{-3}$. It is linked to a gas supply, and the difference between the mercury levels is $72\,\text{mm}$. Atmospheric pressure is $100\,\text{kPa}$. The gravitational field strength $g$ is $10\,\text{N kg}^{-1}$. What is the pressure of the gas supply?

  • A$90\,\text{kPa}$
  • B$99\,\text{kPa}$
  • C$110\,\text{kPa}$
  • D$200\,\text{kPa}$
