"the mass of bottle " m_("bottle") =36.19 g

Explanation:

m_("bottle"):"mass of bottle"
m_("water"):"mass of water"

m_("bottle")+m_("water")=60g

color(green)(m_("water")=60-m_("bottle"))

m_("mercury"):"mass of mercury"

m_("mercury")+m_("bottle")=360

color(red)(m_("mercury")=360-m_("bottle"))

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

V_("water"):"Volume of water"

The volume of water and bottle are equal.

V_("water")=V_("bottle")

V_("mercury"):"Volume of mercury"

V_("mercury")=V_("bottle")=V_("water")

V_("mercury")=color(green)(60-m_("bottle"))

d_("mercury"):"density of mercury"

d_("mercury")=(m_("mercury"))/(V_("mercury"))

d_("mercury")=13.6" " g/(cm^(3))

13.6=(color(red)(360-m_("bottle")))/(color(green)(60-m_("bottle")))

13.6(color(green)(60-m_("bottle")))=color(red)(360-m_("bottle"))

816-13.6m_("bottle")=360-m_("bottle")

816-360=13.6m_("bottle")-m_("bottle")

456=12.6m_("bottle")

m_("bottle")=456/(12.6)

m_("bottle")=36.19g

Let inner volume of the bottle be v cm^3 and mass of empty bottle be m g

So by the problem

m +"mass of "vcm^3" water"=60g

"mass of "vcm^3" water"=(60 -m)g

Again

m+"mass of "vcm^3" of Hg"=360g

"mass of "vcm^3" of Hg"=(360-m)g

Now we know

("mass of "vcm^3" of Hg")/ ("mass of "vcm^3" of water")="sp.gravity of Hg"

=>("mass of "vcm^3" of Hg")/ ("mass of "vcm^3" of water")=13.6

=>(360-m)/ (60-m)=13.6

=>(360-m)=(60-m)xx13.6

=>360-m=816-13.6m

=>12.6m=816-360=456

=>m=456/12.6~~36.2g
