the mass of bottle mbottle=36.19g

Explanation:

mbottle:mass of bottle
mwater:mass of water

mbottle+mwater=60g

mwater=60mbottle

mmercury:mass of mercury

mmercury+mbottle=360

mmercury=360mbottle

**Since the density of water is 1,the mass and volume of water are equal. **

Vwater:Volume of water

The volume of water and bottle are equal.

Vwater=Vbottle

Vmercury:Volume of mercury

Vmercury=Vbottle=Vwater

Vmercury=60mbottle

dmercury:density of mercury

dmercury=mmercuryVmercury

dmercury=13.6 gcm3

13.6=360mbottle60mbottle

13.6(60mbottle)=360mbottle

Let inner volume of the bottle be v cm3 and mass of empty bottle be m g

So by the problem

m+mass of vcm3 water=60g

mass of vcm3 water=(60m)g

Again

m+mass of vcm3 of Hg=360g

mass of vcm3 of Hg=(360m)g

Now we know

mass of vcm3 of Hgmass of vcm3 of water=sp.gravity of Hg

mass of vcm3 of Hgmass of vcm3 of water=13.6

360m60m=13.6

(360m)=(60m)×13.6

360m=81613.6m

12.6m=816360=456

m=45612.636.2g
