Reference no: EM13555141

An airplane is flying at 10.6 km altitude. in its nonpressured cargo bay is a container of mercury 325 mm deep. The container is vented to the local atmosphere. what is the absolute pressure at the surface of the mercury and at the bottom of the container? Assume the conditions of the standard atmosphere prevail for pressure. Use sg = 13.54 for the mercury.
