You are visiting Hawaii and decide to take your barometer with you. When sitting on the beach you notice that the barometer is reading roughly 1 atm. The next day you take your barometer up to the top of Mauna Kea (roughly 4200m above sea level). You notice that the barometer has dropped and the column of mercury is only 45.6 cm high. The density of mercury is 13.595 g cm-3 and the force of gravity is 9.8 m s-2, what is the atmospheric pressure on top of Mauna Kea? Please report your answer in atm.
