A person's blood pressure is measured at 120 mmHg120\text{ mmHg} systolic. What is this pressure in kilopascals (kPa\text{kPa})? Given: The density of mercury is 13.6 g/cm313.6\text{ g/cm}^3, the acceleration due to gravity is g=9.81 m/s2g = 9.81\text{ m/s}^2, and hydrostatic pressure is given by P=ρghP = \rho g h.
