Density of mercury,  ρ1 = 13.6 *103 kg/ m3

Density of wine,  ρ2 = 9.84 *102 kg/ m3

Height of the mercury column for atmospheric pressure,  h1 = 760 mm = 0.76 m

Height of the mercury column for atmospheric pressure = h2

From the relation, P = ρgh , since the pressure on both the system are equal

ρ1gh1 = ρ2gh2 , we get h2 = ρ1gh1ρ2g = 13.6*103*0.769.84*102 = 10.5 m
