Such a device that floats in a vertical position and is used to measure the specific gravity of a liquid is called a hydrometer . The top part of the hydrometer extends above the liquid surface, and the divisions on it allow one to read the specific gravity directly. The hydrometer is calibrated such that in pure water it reads exactly 1.0 at the air–water interface. (a) Obtain a relation for the specific gravity of a liquid as a function of distance Δz from the mark corresponding to pure water and (b) determine the mass of lead that must be poured into a 1-cm-diameter, 20-cm-long hydrometer if it is to float halfway (the 10-cm mark) in pure water.arrow_forward
