Density of Solids

The density of a substance refers to how much matter is present in a given amount of space. It is expressed as the ratio of the mass of the substance to its volume.

Question

We have two barometers, like the one shown in the figure. One uses mercury and the other uses an unknown liquid. The pressure above the liquid for each barometer is the same and is between zero and atmospheric pressure. If the height of the unknown liquid is fifteen times greater than the height of the mercury, determine the density of the unknown fluid. (Assume \( \rho = 13.6 \times 10^3 \, \text{kg/m}^3 \) for mercury.)

**Diagram Explanation:**

The diagram illustrates a barometer setup. It consists of:

- A vertical tube filled with liquid, open to a vacuum at the top.
- An atmosphere-exposed surface at the bottom of the tube, marked "A."

Key details:

- The unknown liquid is shown in the tube.
- The height of this liquid column is labeled \( h \).
- At the top of the liquid column, the pressure is between 0 and 1 atm.
- The atmospheric pressure acts on the surface "A" of the liquid.
