Question

At sea level, the
atmospheric pressure is equal
to the pressure exerted by a
mercury column of height​

Answer 1

Answer:

Atmospheric Pressure and Altitude

At sea level, a mercury column will rise a distance of 760 mm. This atmospheric pressure is reported as 760 mmHg (millimeters of mercury). At higher altitudes, the atmospheric pressure is decreased and so the column of mercury will not rise as high.
