Assuming density of Hg, eHg=13.596×1000 kg/m3

Pressure of 760 mm of Hg will be

=e×g×h=13.596×1000×9.806×7601000101325

1. pressure of 80 cm of Hg

=800760×101325

106658

2. 30 cm Hg vacuum

=7630

=46 cm of Hg absolute

Pressure due to 46 cm of Hg

=460760×101325

=61.328 kPa

3. Pressure due to 1.35 m of H2O guage

=1000×9.806×1.35

=1.3238 kPa

4. 4.2 bar

=4.2×102 kPa

=420 kPa
