Answer:
The specific gravity of the unkown liquid is 15.
Explanation:
Gauge pressure, at the bottom of the tank in this case, can be calculated from
where and
are the height of the column of oil and the unkown liquid, respectively. Writing for
, we have
Relative to water, the unknow liquid specific weight is 15 times bigger, therefore this is its specific gravity as well.
There are two ways to find energy. Energy=F*d=mv^2. We can use this relationship to find v:
