Answer

$10.02\text{ cm}$

Work Step by Step

We will use the formula: $\text{Volume}=\frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Density}}$ Gasoline: $V_1=\frac{34.0\text{ g}}{0.73\text{ g/mL}}\approx 46.58\text{ mL}$ Water: $V_1=\frac{34.0\text{ g}}{1.00\text{ g/mL}}\approx 34.0\text{ mL}$ Total volume: $V_1+V_2=46.58+34.0\approx 80.58 \text{ mL}$ Convert volume to height using cylinder formula: Volume of a cylinder: $V=\pi r^2h\Rightarrow h=\frac{V}{\pi r^2}$ Diameter$=3.2\text{ cm}\Rightarrow \text{Radius}=1.6\text{ cm}$ Area$=\pi r^2=\pi\times (1.6)^2\approx 8.042\text{ cm}^2$ Convert volume to $\text{cm}^3$: $h=\frac{80.58}{8.042}\approx 10.02\text{ cm}$
