Nancy is using a turkey baster (a kitchen tool with a rubber bulb on one end and a tube on the other) to collect juices from a roasting turkey. When she squeezes and then releases the rubber bulb, it creates suction with a pressure of \( 99{,}800 \) \( \text{Pa} \). This suction causes the turkey juice to rise \( 9 \) \( \text{cm} \) up the tube. Based on this information, what is the density of the turkey juice?

A block is attached to a horizontal spring and is initially at rest at the equilibrium position \( x = 0 \), as shown in Figure \( 1 \). The block is then moved to position \( x = -A \), as shown in Figure \( 2 \), and released from rest, undergoing simple harmonic motion.
