    Pressure can be measured using a U-tube manometer by measuring the difference of the height readings. The equation is equal to:

    ΔP = ρgΔh

    where

    ΔP is the difference of pressure between gauge and atmospheric

    ρ is the fluid used in manometer which is mercury (13,560 kg/m³)

    g is 9.81 m/s²

    Δh is the difference in height readings

    The conversions is 101325 Pa = 760 mmHg

    P - 760 mmHg = (13,560 kg/m³) * (9.81 m/s²) * (75 mm) * (1 m/1000 mm) * (760 mmHg/101325 Pa)

    P = 834.83 mmHg
