Mercury is added to a cylindrical container to a depth d and then the rest of the cylinder is filled with water.
If the cylinder is 0.4 m tall and the absolute (or total) pressure at the bottom is 1.1 atmospheres, determine the depth of the mercury. (Assume the density of mercury to be 1.36 104 kg/m^3, and the ambient atmospheric pressure to be 1.013e5 Pa)
