A) Explain how high in meters must a column of water be to exert a pressure equal to that of a 760-mm column of mercury? Explain the density of water is 1.0 g/mL, whereas that of mercury is 13.6 g/mL.
B) Define what is the pressure, in atmospheres, on the body of a diver if he is 27 ft below the surface of the water while atmospheric pressure at the surface is 0.98 atm?
