A U – tube with some mercury at the bottom is set up vertically and twelve centimeter of water is added into one arm of the tube. Methylated spirits is then added carefully into the other arm of the U – tube until the mercury levels are the same in both arms. It is observed that the level methylated spirit is higher. What is the density of methylated spirit if the methylated spirit column is fifteen centimeter high?Required to answer. Single choice.
