Answer:
volume of vessel =Base area×H
=0.050×6m³
=0.30m³
density of mercury
13600kg/m³
mass of mercury in 1m³ =13600kg
mass of mercury in 0.30m³vessel =136000×0.30
=40800kg
pressure of mercury on vessel
=pgh
=40800*10*6. (where p=amount of mercury. g=acceleration due to gravity. h=height of the vessel)
=2448000kg.m/s²
