A U-tube is partly filled with water. A liquid, immiscible in water, is poured into one arm until the level of the liquid comes to a height h above the water level in the other arm. The water in the second arm is at a height d above its previous level in this arm. Calculate the density of the liquid.

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.

A body floats with one third of its volume outside water and 3/4 of its volume outside another liquid. Calculate the density of the other liquid.

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) .

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.

A conical pot of internal radius 5 cm and height 24 cm is filled with water . It this water is poured into a right cylindrical pot of radius 10 cm , then what will be the height of water - level into the pot ?

A vibrating tuning fork is held at the mouth of a cylindrical tube in which water is poured gradually. Then for a certain height of water-level in the tube, an intense sound is heard. What is the reason behind it?

A U-tube is partially filled with mercury. Kerosene oil is poured into one of its limbs and glycerine into the other. It is observed that, when the height of the kerosene oil becomes 20 cm and that of glycerine becomes 12.68 cm, the levels of the mercury column in the two limbs are at the same horizontal level. If the density of kerosene oil is 0.8g*cm^(-3) , then find that of glycerine.

A pitot tube is connected to a main pipeline of diameter 16 cm. The difference in height of the water columns in the two arms of the tube is 10 cm. Determine the rate of flow of water through the main pipe.

A U-tube is almost half-filled with mercury. The wider limb has an area of cross-section of 2cm^(2) , and the cross-section of the narrow limb is 1cm^(2) . If 52cm^(3) of water is poured into the wider limb, then what will be the depression of the mercury level in that limb? The density of mercury = 13.6g*cm^(-3) .
