The density of the mercury in lbs/l is 29.96 lbs/l.
Density: The ratio of the mass of the substance to its total volume is defined as the density of that substance.
The formula of the density is,
d=m/V
where d is the density, m is the mass and V is the volume.
Conversion of the unit from g/ml to lbs/l:
It is given that the density of the given substance is 13.6 g/ml.
1 lb = 0.454 Kg
1 kg = 1000 g
So 1 lb = 0.454 *1000 g
1 lb = 454 g
That means 1 g = 1/454 lb
Then 1 ml = 0.001 l.
Using these values, the density of the given substance in lbs/l is calculated.
13.6 g/ml = (13.6 g/ml)*(1 lb/ 454 g)÷(0.001 l/ml)
13.6 g/ml = 29.96 lbs/l
