A hydrometer is a laboratory tool used to directly measure the specific gravity of a fluid. A hy- drometer consists of a closed tube that is precisely weighted and marked so that it intersects the free surface at the point marked "1.000" when placed in pure water (at rest). You are given a hydrometer that weighs 0.048 lb and has a stem diameter of D = 0.50 in. If you place this hydrometer in glycerin, what is the height h when at equilibrium? Answer: h= 1.39 in ......
