1. A special-purpose piece of laboratory glassware, called a pyncnometer; is used to measureLiquid densities. It has a volume of 25 cc, and a mass of 17 .24 g when it is full of air. Whenfilled with a liquid of unknown density, its mass = 45.00 g. What is the density of this liquid?How large an error do we make if we ignore the mass of the air that was in it when we weighed itand found m = 17.24 g?
In Figure below all fluids are at 20 deg.C. Determine pressure at point B, if
pressure at point A is 150 kPa and weight of air is neglected. Use the table below
