Elvis Maome Mesue asked the Naked Scientists:
The pressure at the base of a mountain is 760mmHg and at the top of the mountain is 600mmHG. If the density of air is 1.25kg/m3 and the density of mercury is 13500kg/m. what is the height of the mountain?
What do you think?

I thought measuring presure in mm of Mercury went out with the Ark, we have SI units now!

That looks like a homework question and we generally try to avoid anwering these here. You have most of the information to calculate the answer yourself.
