1. A U-shaped tube is partially filled with sea water, whose density is known to be ρ1 = 1.024cm g3. At the right end, an oily liquid of unknown density ρ2 is added. Since oil and sea water are immiscible, an interface is formed, as shown in the figure below. The heights of the columns are h1= 2.1cm and h2 = 2.4cm, respectively. Determine the density ρ2.
