Answer:
P = d g h pressure due to density of liquid of height h
d1 g h1 = d2 g h2 since P1 equals P2
d1 h1 = d2 h2 and the density of Hg is 13.6 times that of water
h2 = (d1 / d2) * h1 = 13.6 * 70 cm = 952 cm or 9.52 m
. Methylated spirits have ethanol as a base but may include methyl alcohol (methanol) as part of the denaturing process.
