Inches of mercury is something that would only be used in America.  Elsewhere in the world, the mercury height would be in millimeters, or about 760mm (76cm).  Mercury has a density of about 13.56 g/cm3, or in other words, each cm of mercury weighs about 13,300 dynes.  So 760mm of mercury weighs 1,013,000 dynes.  1 mb is 1 dyne/cm2, so what is the air pressure in mb?
A) 1.013 mb
B) 1,000,000 mb
C) 1013 mb
D) 760 mb
