Lacking on mercury, an improvised barometer uses a liquid that weighs 0.735 times that of mercury. Assuming that the unit weight of air is constant 12 N/m^3, evaluate the approximate height of the mountain if the barometer readings are 600mm at the base and 850mm at the top of the mountain. specific gravity= 13.6
