Chapter 3, Problem 99P
The density of a liquid is to be determined by an old 1-cm-diameier cylindrical hydrometer whose division marks are completely wiped out. The hydrometer is first dropped in water, and the water level is marked. The hydrometer is then dropped into the other liquid, and it is observed that the mark for water has risen 0.3 cm above the liquid-air interface (Fig. P3-99). If the height of the original water mark is 12.3 cm. determine the density of the liquid.

Here, a liquid's density is to be determined by a 1-cm diameter cylindrical hydrometer whose division marks are non visable. The hydrometer is first dropped in water, and the water level is marked. The hydrometer is then dropped into the 'liquid x', and it is observed that the mark for water has risen 0.85 cm above the liquid–air interface. In this case, the height of the originalwater mark is 12.7 cm. As such, how would I determine the density of the liquid?
The figure below shows a rectangular tank of dimensions ho = 2.5 m and b = 2 m is filled to the brim with a liquid of specific gravity 1.1 (tank is 1 m into plane of figure). The
tank is subjected to a horizontal acceleration ax, and 30% of the liquid spills over. Determine the difference in liquid pressures at the lower left-hand corner (Point E) and
lower right-hand corner of the tank (Point F).
