Magnetic Susceptibility Calibration Constant
Standard HgCo(CNS)4 is provided in the sealed tube (blue solid). Note the following then insert into the equation to find the calibration constant K.
Mass, m is given on the container.
You must measure l (length of sample, in cm) and R.

(Yes it is 283, not 273. This is not a temperature correction, each standard has its own constant here and for HgCo(SCN)4 it's 283.)
χg = 16.44 × 10-6 c.g.s. at 20°C
