A glass cylinder contains four liquid layers: mercury (d = 13.6 g/mL), chloroform (d = 1.49 g/mL), water (d = 1.00 g/mL), and ether (d = 0.708 g/mL). If a marble (d=2.7 g/mL) is dropped into the cylinder, where does it come to rest? A) on top of the ether layer B) on top of the water layer C) on top of the chloroform layer D) on top of the mercury layer E) on the bottom of the cylinder
