### Experiment on Pressure and Height Relation

**Graph Description:**
The graph displays the relationship between total pressure (\( P_{total} \)) in Pascals and height (\( H \)) in feet. The equation of the line is given by:
\[ P_{total} = 3707H + 131723 \]
The line illustrates a positive linear relationship indicating that the total pressure increases with height.

**Experiment Background:**
In a lab on campus, an experiment was conducted in which a pressure probe is submerged in a fluid inside a pressurized enclosure. The results are presented in the graph above.

**Task:**
Determine the specific gravity of the fluid used in the experiment.
