ights of these two columns arethen measured by means of the scales, it will be found that the height of thecolumn of water is about 13^ times that of the height of the column of mercury.We shall presently see that the density of mercury is about 13^ times that ofwater, from which it follows that… … 96 On Liquids. [107- The preceding principle may be deduced by a veiy simple calculation.Let d and d be the densities of water and mercury, and h and h their re-spective heights, and let g be the force of gravity. The pressure on B willbe proportional to the density of the liciuid, to its height,…
