Explanation:
Unclear question. The clear rendering reads;
"Into a U-tube containing mercury, pour on the other side sulfuric acid of density 1.84 and on the other side alcohol of density 0.8 so that the levels are in the same horizontal plane. The height of the acid above the mercury being 24 cm. What is the height of the bar and what variation of the level of the acid, when the mercury density is 13.6?
For the answer to the question above,
the distance from i to j is 5 parts
(2 parts from i to k and 3 parts from k to j)
The y distance from i to j is
10 - 2 = 8
Each part is 8/5 = 1.6
Therefore the distance between the 2 parts from i to k is 3.2
From the y coordinate of I which is 2 plus the 3.2 to point k
2 + 3.2 = 5.2
Answer y =5.2
Now just convert that to fraction and that will be the answer
