A U tube contains water and methylated spirit separted by mercury. The mercury colums in the tow arms are at the same level with 10 cm of water in one are and 12.5 cm of spirit in the other as shown in figure. The relative density of the spirit is

A U-tube contains water and liquid separated by mercury. The mercury columns in the two arms are in level with 10cm of water in one arm and 5cm of liquid in the other. What is the specific gravity of liquid?

In a constant volume gas thermometer, the pressure of the working gas is measured by the differenced in the levels of mercury in the two arms of a U-tube connected to the gas at one end. When the bulb is placed at the room temperature 27.0^0 C , the mercury column in the arm open to atmosphere stands 5.00 cm above the level of mercury in the other arm. When the bulb is placed in a hot liquid, the difference of mercury levels becomes 45..0 Cm . Calculate the temperature of the liquid. (Atmospheric pressure = 75.0cm of mercury).

A U-tube contains water in its lower part. Then 32 cm of kerosene of relative density 0.8 is poured into one limb and a vegetable oil of reative density 0.65 is poured into the other. The water level in the kerosene oil side is 5 cm lower that in the other . what is the height of the column of vegtable oil ?\

A U-tube is partially filled with mercury. Some water is poured in its one arm and a liquid in the other arm so that the level of mercury in both arms is same. What is the ratio of lengths of water and liquid in the two arms of the U-tube? Density of water = 1000 kg m^(-3) and density of liquid = 900 kg m^(-3)

two bodies counterpoise each other when suspended in water from the arms of a balance. The mass of one body is 0.28 kg and its relative density 5.6 . It the mass of the other is 0.36 kg, what is the realtive density of the other body ?

A tube of length 50 cm is containing a gas in two secitons separated by a mercury column of length 10 cm as shown in figure. The tube's open end is just inside the Hg surface in container, find pressure of gas in upper section. [Assume atmospheric pressure = 75 cm of Hg column]

The plastic tube in Fig. has a cross-sectional area of 5.00 cm^(2) . The tube is filled with water until the short arm (of length d = 0.800 m) is full. Then the short arm is figure sealed and more water is gradually poured into the long arm. When the total height of water in the long arm reaches 2.80 m, the seal is on the verging of popping. What force is then on the seal?
