One arm of a U-shaped tube (open at both ends) contains water, and the other alcohol. If the two fluids meet at exactly the bottom of the U, and the alcohol is at a height of 16.0 cm, at what height will the water be?
(II) The surface tension of a liquid can be determined by measuring the force \(F\) needed to just lift a circular platinum ring of radius \(r\) from the surface of the liquid. (a) Find a formula for \(\gamma \) in terms of \(F\) and \(r\). (b) At \(30^\circ C\), if \(F = 6.20 \times {10^{ - 3}}\;{\rm{N}}\) and \(r = 2.9\;{\rm{cm}}\), calculate \(\gamma \) for the tested liquid.
(II) A bottle has a mass of 35.00 g when empty and 98.44 g when filled with water. When filled with another fluid, the mass is 89.22 g. What is the specific gravity of this other fluid?
