A U‑tube mercury manometer is used to measure the pressure of a sealed gas container. One leg of the manometer is open to the atmosphere, the other is connected to the gas container. The mercury levels differ by \(250\ \text{mm}\), the gas side being lower. Given atmospheric pressure is \(101.3\ \text{kPa}\) and the density of mercury is \(13\,600\ \text{kg}\,\text{m}^{-3}\), determine the absolute pressure of the gas in the container (in kPa, to three significant figures).
