Question

Can you follow the instruction given:

Determine the specific weight on each liquid by using the concept of P₂ = P₁+γh. Start with the upper most reader (Elevation 2m) since its P₁ is zero. Repeat this until you reach the third elevation. Get the average of the three (3) specific weights. Divide this into the specific weight of water. Take this as your Specific Gravity for Fluid A.

Gravity= 9.8 m/s²

^{The atmosphere is off in the simulation.}

^{These are the sample data given:}
