Mercury is filled in a tube of radius 2 cm2 \mathrm{~cm} up to a height of 30 cm30 \mathrm{~cm} . The force exerted by mercury on the bottom of the tube is _________ N.

(Given, atmospheric pressure =105 Nm−2=10^5 \mathrm{~Nm}^{-2} , density of mercury =1.36×104 kg m−3, g=10 m s−2,π=227)=1.36 \times 10^4 \mathrm{~kg} \mathrm{~m}^{-3}, \mathrm{~g}=10 \mathrm{~m} \mathrm{~s}^{-2}, \pi=\frac{22}{7})
