Question:
A U-tube contains liquid of unknown specific gravity. An oil of density 800 kg/m3 is poured into one arm of the tube until the oil column is 12 cm high. The oil–air interface is then 5.0 cm above the liquid level in the other arm of the U-tube. Find the specific gravity of the liquid.

Density is a measurement that compares the amount of matter an object has to its volume. An object with much matter in a certain volume has a high density. Density helps us predict whether something will float. In this video, the density of oil is assessed by adding food color to the oil above water.
