A vessel which contains a volatile liquid and its vapour is connected with a mercury manometer as shown in figure. Both the liquid and vapour phases are at equilibrium. The vapour pressure and density of the volatile liquid are 107.6 kPa and 700 kg/m3, respectively. The density of the mercury is 13600 kg/m3. Acceleration due to gravity (g) is 10 m/s2 and atmospheric pressure is 101 kPa. Hydrostatic pressure created by the weight of the vapour is neglected. The height, h (in m, rounded off to two decimal places) of the mercury column in figure is _________.
Answer: 0.09 to 0.11
