Chapter 1, Problem 1.29P

a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:The volume of liquid mercuryis to be determined.

Concept introduction:Density is defined as mass per unit volume. It is denoted by $d$ . The expression to calculate density is as follows:

  $d=\frac{M}{V}$

Where,

• $d$is the density.
• $M$is mass.
• $V$is volume.
