A man wants to measure the atmospheric pressure on the ground floor up to the top floor in this office using aneroid barometer. In his measurement on the reception area, the device reads 28.89 in. Hg. After 15 minutes, he went on and reach the penthouse where the barometer reads 777 mm Hg. Assume that the average density of air was 0.090 lb/ft3, estimate the height of the building in meters.
