Apply the grid method in solving the following questions to check for dimensional homogeneity. 1. For an atmospheric pressure of 101 kPa (abs) determine the heights of the fluid columns in barometers containing one of the following liquids: (a) mercury (SG = 13.55), (b) water, and (c) ethyl alcohol (SG = 0.79). Do these results support the widespread use of mercury for barometers? Why?
