2. Jerome and Arnel decided to prove the variation of pressure at different elevations within the lowest layer of the atmosphere, which is the troposphere, using standard mercury barometers. Arnel decided to measure the pressure on the ground by placing the device at the bottom of 125-m high building while Jerome, placed his instrument on the rooftop. After achieving equilibrium, Jerome's mercury barometer reads 750 mm. What should be the reading on Arnel's mercury barometer?
