A U-tube with a cross-sectional area of 1.00 cm2 is open to the atmosphere at both ends. Water is poured into the tube until the water rises part-way along the straight sides, and then 5.00 cm3 of oil is poured into one end

As a result, the top surface of the oil ends up 0.550 cm higher than the water surface on the other side of the U. What is the density of the oil?


890 kg/m3
