A vessel contains oil (density =0.8 gm/cm3= 0.8 \text{ gm/cm}^3) over mercury (density =13.6 gm/cm3= 13.6 \text{ gm/cm}^3). A homogeneous sphere floats with half its volume immersed in mercury and the other half in oil. Find the density of the material of the sphere in gm/cm3\text{gm/cm}^3. a. 3.3 b. 6.4 c. 7.2 d. 12.8
