Answer:
Price of one pound of mercury
[tex]x=\$ 2.06[/tex]
Price of one cubic inch of mercury
[tex]z=\$1.0[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
Mass of mercury [tex]M= 76pound[/tex]
Price of 76 pound [tex]P=\$162[/tex]
Density of mercury is [tex]\rho=13.534 g/cm3.[/tex]
Generally the cost of one pound of Mercury x will mathematically be given as
[tex]x=\frac{162}{76}[/tex]
[tex]x=\$ 2.13[/tex]
Generally the cost of one gram of Mercury G will mathematically be given as
[tex]1pound = 453.92g[/tex]
[tex]G=2.06/453.93\\G=\$4.6*10^-^3[/tex]
Generally the cost of one cubic centimetre of Mercury c will mathematically be given as
[tex]13.5= 1cm^3\ of\ Mercury[/tex]
[tex]c=\$6.33*10^-^2[/tex]
Generally the cost of one cubic inch of Mercury z will mathematically be given as
[tex]z=0.0614*16.4[/tex]
[tex]z=\$1.0[/tex]
