The density of water is 1.00×103 kg/m3, and the density of mercury is 1.36×104 kg/m3. Calculate the absolute pressure ????b at the bottom of a 0.250-m tall graduated cylinder that is one?third full of mercury and two?thirds full of water.
Added by Jerez R.
Step 1
First, we need to find the height of mercury and water in the graduated cylinder. Since the cylinder is 0.250 m tall, one-third of it is filled with mercury and two-thirds with water. Height of mercury (h_mercury) = (1/3) * 0.250 m = 0.0833 m Height of water Show more…
