Given:

Atmospheric pressure = 759 mmHg

Height of manometer, h = 53 mm

To determine:

The gas pressure

Explanation:

The pressure of the gas can be calculated as follows-

P(gas) = P(atm ) + h

where: P(atm) is the atmospheric pressure

            h = column height

P(gas) = 759 + 53 = 812 mmHg

Ans: The pressure of gas in the mercury manometer is 812 mmHg
