A U-tube of uniform cross-section contains some water. When `4cm^(3)` of water is poured into it, the water level rises by 1 cm in each arm of the tube. Now if `10cm^(3)` of oil is poured through one of the limbs, the water level rises further by 2.2 cm in the other limb. Calculate the density of the oil.

Text Solution

A vertical U-tube of uniform cross-section contains mercury. Through one of its limbs, some water is poured such that the mercury level in that limb goes down by 2 cm. What will be the height of the water column?

A U-tube of uniform cross-section contains some mercury. If water is poured into one of the limbs up to a height of 13.4cm, then find the rise in the mercury level in the other limb. The density of mercury = 13.4g*cm^(-3) .

The cross-sectional areas of the two arms of a U-tube are 1cm^(2)and0.1 cm^(2) respectively. Some water is poured inside the tube. How much liquid of density 0.85g*cm^(-3) should be poured into the wider limb so that water rises by 15 cm in the narrow limb?

There is some mercury in a U-tube. Water is poured into one of its arms and kerosene into the other. When the heights of the water and the kerosene oil are 4cm and 5cm respectively, the level of mercury in both the arms becomes the same. Calculate the density of kerosene oil.

The cross-section of the two limbs of a U-tube are 3cm^(2)and1cm^(2) respectively. Keeping the tube vertical, some mercury is poured into it. Now 60cm^(3) of water is poured into the wider limb. To what height will the mercury rise in the narrow limb? The density of mercury = 13.6g*cm^(-3) .

The cross-sectional area and length of each arm of a U-tube are 1cm^(2) and 33 cm respectively. Mercury is poured into it up to a height of 6.8 cm in each arm. Now water is poured into one of the arms to fill it completely. If the density of mercury is 13.6g*cm^(-3) , then determine the volume of water poured into it.
