Motion of an oscillating liquid column in a U-tube is

A

periodic but not simple harmonic.

B

non-periodic

C

simple harmonic and time period is independent of the density of the liquid.

D

simple harmonic and time period is directly proportional to the density of the liquid.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
As `T=2pisqrt(l//g)` (where l is the length of the oscillating liquid column in each limb), it is independent of the density of the liquid.
