The liquids shown in figure in the two arms are mercury (specific gravity =13.6) and water. If the difference of heights of the mercury columns is 2 cm, find the height of the water column.
,

A

`6.8cm`

B

`13.6cm`

C

`27.2cm`

D

`54cm`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`hxx1000xxg=2/100xx13600xxg`
or `h=(2xx13.6)/100m=27.2cm`
