A special tyre was inflated at 2 bar gage pressure on Earth, where the atmospheric pressure was 1013 hPa and the acceleration of gravity 9.81 m/s2. The tyre was then transported without pressure leakage on Mars, where the atmospheric pressure was 6 mbar and the acceleration of gravity 3.7 m/s 2. Questions: (a) Measuring on Earth the tyre pressure with a mercury manometer, what was the manometer reading in mm? (b) Measuring on Mars the tyre pressure with a mercury manometer, what was the manometer reading in mm?
