A U-tube is filled first with a fluid S of unknown density. Over this water is filled to depths as in figure. Lubricating oil of specific gravity 0.91 is filled over the water column on both limbs. The top of both limbs are open to atmosphere. Which nearly gives the density in slugs/ft³ of the unknown fluid. (Dimensions in figure below are in millimeters) Oil 100 90 Water 50 70 20 60 40
