Problem

A vertical manometer contains a nonvolatile oil. When one arm of the manometer is open to the atmosphere and the other is connected to a sealed chamber, the oil column in the chamber’s arm rises

28\,\text{cm}

above the atmospheric arm. An independent sensor shows that the chamber’s pressure is

3.2\times10^{3}\,\text{Pa}

greater than atmospheric pressure. Using

g = 9.8\,\text{m/s}^{2}

, determine the density of the oil. a)

6.0\times10^{2}\,\text{kg/m}^{3}

1.2\times10^{3}\,\text{kg/m}^{3}

2.3\times10^{3}\,\text{kg/m}^{3}

3.2\times10^{2}\,\text{kg/m}^{3}
