Answer

(a) $0.770m$ (b) increased

Work Step by Step

(a) We know that $h=\frac{P-P_{at}}{\rho g}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $h=\frac{109KPa-101.3KPa}{(1020)(9.81)}$ $h=0.770m$ (b) If we use a less dense fluid, then the height must be increased because the density of the fluid is inversely proportional to the height.
