A normal blood pressure reading is less than 120/80 where both numbers are gauge pressures measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg). What are the absolute and gauge pressures in pascals at the base of a 0.139 m column of mercury? (The density of mercury is _Hg = 13.6  10³ kg/m³. 

Assume the system is at sea level.)
