Answer:
Explanation:
Let the cross sectional area be a cm .
volume of hydrometer inside liquid = 12 x a = 12 a
weight of liquid displaced = 12a x .8 x g = 9.6 a g
For free floatation of liquid
weight of hydrometer = weight of displaced liquid
9.6 a g = 100 g
a = 10.41 cm²
cross sectional area = 10.41 cm².
