air pressure is decreasing
It is approx 46.3 feet.
Pressure decreases as height increases and vice-versa.

Yes, as air pressure increases, the height of the column of mercury in a barometer also increases. This is because the higher air pressure pushes down on the mercury in the barometer, causing the column to rise. Conversely, lower air pressure will cause the column of mercury to fall.
air pressure is decreasing
The height of the column of mercury would be lower.
low pressure system and stormy weather
The height of the column in a mercury barometer is determined by pressure, not force. Fluid pressures depend on density and depth-pressure at the bottom of a wide column of mercury is no different than the pressure at the bottom of a narrow column of mercury of the same depth. The weight of fluid per area of contact is the same for each. Likewise with the surrounding air. Therefore barometers made with wide barometer tubes show the same height as barometers with narrow tubes of mercury.
When air pressure increases, the mercury in a barometer rises.
It is a measure of pressure exerted by a column of mercury which is 165 mm in height.

Pressure tendancies measure short term weather. The mercury in a barometer will rise with atmospheric pressure denoting fairer weather and a fall in barometric pressure warns of inclement weather.
The height of the Mercury column would decrease.
Atmospheric pressure will support a column of mercury to about 760 mm. Mercurial air pressure is described as '760 mmHg'. As air pressure changes , the height of this column will also change. If you did it with water, the column would have to be about 34 feet (10.2 metres) in height.
the atmospere can not support the greater height column and the column of mercury will drop to the level in which the atmospere can support
