BIO S A hydrometer is an instrument used to determine liq- uid density. A simple one is sketched in Figure P9.84. The bulb of a syringe is squeezed and released to lift a sample of the liq- uid of interest into a tube containing a calibrated rod of known density. (Assume the rod is cylindrical.) The rod, of length L and average density po, floats partially immersed in the liquid of density p. A length h of the rod protrudes above the surface of the liquid. Show that the density of the liquid is given by PoL 96 98 100 102 104 L. Figure P9.84

A scientist is calculating the density of an ore sample. The scien- tist measures that the ore sample weighs 22.4 N in air. When the sample is suspended by a thin light cord and totally immersed in water, the tension in the cord is 14.2 N. What is the density of the ore sample that the scientist calculates. You can assume that any buoyant force from air is negligible.

A liquid-filled tube called a manometer can be used to measure the pressure inside a container by comparing it to the atmospheric pressure and measuring the height of the liquid. Such a device (filled with water) is shown in the figure, measuring the pressure inside a balloon filled with an unknown gas. The water level on the side of the manometer which is open to the air is 12.2 cm higher than on the side connected to the balloon. a. Find the gauge pressure in the balloon, in units of Pa. Recall the density of water is 1000 kg/m3. b. Find the absolute pressure in the balloon, in units of Pa.
