Answer

46.19 mm Hg

Work Step by Step

We can write, $P=h\rho g$ ; Let's plug known values into this equation. $P=0.61\space m\times1030\space kg/m^{3}\times9.8\space m/s^{2}$ $P=6157.34\space Pa$ We know that, $1.013\times10^{5} Pa=760\space mm\space Hg$ Let's multiply the P by conversion factor $(\frac{760\space mm\space Hg}{1.013\times10^{5}Pa})$ to convert the units $P=6157.34\space Pa(\frac{760\space mm\space Hg}{1.013\times10^{5}Pa})=46.19\space mm\space Hg$
