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?
