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.

You come across an open container that is filled with two liquids. Since the two liquids have different densities, there is a distinct separation between them. Water, which has a density of ?w=1.00×103 kg/m3, fills the lower portion of the container to a depth of 0.215 m. The fluid that is floating on top of the water is 0.307 m deep. If the absolute pressure on the bottom of the container is 1.049×105 Pa, what is the density, ?l, of the unknown fluid? The acceleration due to gravity is ?=9.81 m/s2 and atmospheric pressure is ?0=1.013×105 Pa.
