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 fourteen times greater than the height of the mercury, determine the density of the unknown fluid. (Assume ρ = 13.6 × 103 kg/m3 for mercury.)
