Answer:
5.79 in
Explanation:
We are given that
Diameter,d=0.30 in
Radius,r=[tex]\frac{d}{2}=\frac{0.30}{2}=0.15 in[/tex]
Weight of hydrometer,W=0.042 lb
Specific gravity(SG)=1.10
Height of stem from the water surface=3.15 in
Density of water=[tex]62.4lb/ft^3[/tex]
In water
Volume of water displaced [tex]V=\frac{mass}{density}=\frac{0.042}{62.4}=6.73\times 10^{-4} ft^3[/tex]
Volume of another liquid displaced=[tex]V'=\frac{V}{SG}=\frac{6.73\times 10^{-4}}{1.19}=5.66\times 10^{-4}ft^3[/tex]
Change in volume=V-V'
[tex]V-V'=\pi r^2 l[/tex]
Substitute the values
[tex]6.73\times 10^{-4}-5.66\times 10^{-4}=3.14\times (\frac{0.15}{12})^2l[/tex]
By using
1 ft=12 in
[tex]\pi=3.14[/tex]
[tex]l=\frac{6.73\times 10^{-4}-5.66\times 10^{-4}}{3.14\times (\frac{0.15}{12})^2}[/tex]
l=2.64 in
Total height=h+l=3.15+2.64= 5.79 in
Hence, the height of the stem protrude above the liquid surface=5.79 in
