Answer:
Difference in height = 7.5 cm
Explanation:
We are given;.
Height of ethyl alcohol;h2 = 20 cm = 0.2 m
Density of glycerin: ρ1 = 1260 kg/m³
Density of ethyl alcohol; ρ2 = 790 kg/m³
To get the difference in height, the pressure at the top of the open end must be equal to the pressure at the point where the liquids do not mix since both points will be at different levels after the pouring.
Thus;
P1 = P2
Formula for pressure is; P = ρgh
Thus;
ρ1 × g × h1 = ρ2 × g × h2
g will cancel out to give;
ρ1 × h1 = ρ2× h2
Making h1 the subject, we have;
h1 = (ρ2× h2)/ρ1
h1 = (790 × 0.2)/1260
h1 = 0.125 m
Difference in height will be;
Δh = h2 - h1
Δh = 0.2 - 0.125
Δh = 0.075 m = 7.5 cm
Use a scale and record the weight in cm^3
