    P flask = 860.966 torr

    Explanation:

    ⇒ P open tube = Patm + (δHg) (g) (h) = P flask

    ∴ δHg = 13.6 g/cm³

    ∴ g = 980 cm/s²

    ∴ h = 10.5 cm

    ⇒ (δHg) (g) (h) = (13.6 g/cm³) (980 cm/s²) (10.5 cm) = 139944 g/cm. s²

    ⇒ (δHg) (g) (h) = (13994.4 Kg/m. s² (Pa)) * (0.00750062 torr/Pa)

    ⇒ (δHg) (g) (h) = 104.966 torr

    ⇒ P flask = 756 torr + 104.966 torr

    ⇒ P flask = 860.966 torr
