    Pvac = 0.2 bar

    Patm = 750 mm Hg

    P Hg = 13.59 g/cm^3 * (1kg/10^3g) (10^2cm/1m) ^3 = 13590 kg/m^3

    g = 9.81 m/s^2

    Patm = P Hg*g*L Hg

    = 13590 kg/m^3 * (9.81 m/s^2) * (0.75 m)

    = 100 * 10^3 * 1N/1kgms^-2 * 1 bar / 10^5 Nm^-2

    = 1 bar

    Pabs = Patm - Pvac = 1-0.2

    = 0.8 bar
