Answer:

Price of one pound of mercury


x=\$ 2.06

Price of one cubic inch of mercury


z=\$1.0

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Mass of mercury
M= 76pound

Price of 76 pound
P=\$162

Density of mercury is
\rho=13.534 g/cm3.

Generally the cost of one pound of Mercury x will mathematically be given as


x=(162)/(76)


x=\$ 2.13

Generally the cost of one gram of Mercury G will mathematically be given as


1pound = 453.92g


G=2.06/453.93\\G=\$4.6*10^-^3

Generally the cost of one cubic centimetre of Mercury c will mathematically be given as


13.5= 1cm^3\ of\ Mercury


c=\$6.33*10^-^2

Generally the cost of one cubic inch of Mercury z will mathematically be given as


z=0.0614*16.4


z=\$1.0
