Two flasks (which we will refer to as flask 1 and flask 2) are connected to each other by a U-shaped tube filled with an oil having a density of 0.564 g mL-1. The oil level in the arm connected to flask 2 is 13.57 cm higher than in the arm connected to flask 1. Flask 1 is also connected to an open-end mercury manometer. The mercury level in the arm open to the atmosphere is 11.70 cm higher than the level in the arm connected to flask 1. The atmospheric pressure is 0.866 atm. What is the pressure of the gas in flask 2 expressed in torr?

The density of a liquid is to be determined by an old 1-cm-diameter cylindrical hydrometer whose division marks are completely wiped out. The hydrometer is first dropped in water, and the water level is marked. The hydrometer is then dropped into the other liquid, and it is observed that the mark for water has risen 0.3 cm above the liquid–air interface. If the height of the original water mark is 12.3 cm, determine the density of the liquid.
