Ariana was curious about the height of Mount Grande so she decided to climb it. She put a barometer at the bottom (before her trip), and at the top of the mountain. Assuming that the readings she got were taken at the same time, the barometer at the top reads 378 mmHg while at the bottom is 656 mmHg. Take the density of air to be constant at 2.46 kg/m3. What is the approximate height of the mountain (in meters)
