The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we need to determine how much liquid of density \(4 \, \text{g/cc}\) should be poured into one side of the U-tube so that no water remains in the horizontal arm. ### Step 1: Understand the setup We have a U-tube with: - Length of the horizontal arm = 20 cm - Cross-sectional area = \(1 \, \text{cm}^2\) - Volume of water = 60 cc ### Step 2: Calculate the height of water in the U-tube The volume of water is given as 60 cc. Since the cross-sectional area is \(1 \, \text{cm}^2\), we can calculate the height of the water column in the U-tube using the formula: \[ \text{Volume} = \text{Area} \times \text{Height} \] Thus, \[ 60 \, \text{cc} = 1 \, \text{cm}^2 \times \text{Height} \] This gives us: \[ \text{Height} = 60 \, \text{cm} \] ### Step 3: Determine the pressure balance When we pour the liquid of density \(4 \, \text{g/cc}\) into one side of the U-tube, we want the pressure at the bottom of both sides to be equal. Let: - \(h\) = height of the liquid of density \(4 \, \text{g/cc}\) poured into one side. - The pressure exerted by the water column on the left side will be \(P_1 = \rho_1 g h_1\) (where \(\rho_1 = 1 \, \text{g/cc}\) for water and \(h_1 = 60 \, \text{cm}\)). - The pressure exerted by the liquid on the right side will be \(P_2 = \rho_2 g h_2\) (where \(\rho_2 = 4 \, \text{g/cc}\) and \(h_2 = h\)). ### Step 4: Set up the equation for pressure balance Since the pressures at the same level must be equal: \[ P_1 = P_2 \] This gives us: \[ \rho_1 g h_1 = \rho_2 g h_2 \] Substituting the values: \[ 1 \, \text{g/cc} \times 60 \, \text{cm} = 4 \, \text{g/cc} \times h \] Cancelling \(g\) from both sides: \[ 60 = 4h \] Thus, \[ h = \frac{60}{4} = 15 \, \text{cm} \] ### Step 5: Calculate the total volume of the liquid Now, we need to find the total volume of the liquid in the U-tube: 1. The volume of the liquid of density \(4 \, \text{g/cc}\) in the left limb: \[ V_{\text{left}} = \text{Area} \times \text{Height} = 1 \, \text{cm}^2 \times 15 \, \text{cm} = 15 \, \text{cm}^3 \] 2. The volume of the liquid in the horizontal arm: \[ V_{\text{horizontal}} = \text{Area} \times \text{Length} = 1 \, \text{cm}^2 \times 20 \, \text{cm} = 20 \, \text{cm}^3 \] ### Step 6: Total volume of liquid Adding both volumes: \[ V_{\text{total}} = V_{\text{left}} + V_{\text{horizontal}} = 15 \, \text{cm}^3 + 20 \, \text{cm}^3 = 35 \, \text{cm}^3 \] ### Conclusion The volume of the liquid of density \(4 \, \text{g/cc}\) that should be poured into the U-tube is \(35 \, \text{cm}^3\). ---

To solve the problem step by step, we need to determine how much liquid of density \(4 \, \text{g/cc}\) should be poured into one side of the U-tube so that no water remains in the horizontal arm. ### Step 1: Understand the setup We have a U-tube with: - Length of the horizontal arm = 20 cm - Cross-sectional area = \(1 \, \text{cm}^2\) - Volume of water = 60 cc ...
