1. (2.5 points) The mercury barometer below is on a mountain (0.660 atm). Label all
the arrows. Draw on the figure below how the barometer would change and
estimate the pressure reading (in mmHg) if the barometer were brought down to sea
level.
Barometer reading on the mountain (in mmHg) = _____________
Estimated Barometer reading at sea level (in mmHg) = ____________
