A vertical U shaped tube of uniform cross-section contains mercury in both limbs. Another liquid of density 3.4 g/cm^3 is poured In one limb of column length 4 cm as shown in figure. Then difference (h) between the upper level of liquid in both the limbs is (density of mercury = 13.6 g/cm^3)

A vessel contains two immiscible liquids of density rho_(1)=1000 kg//m^(3) and rho_(2)=1500kg//m^(3) . A solid block of volume V=10^(3)m^(3) and density d=800kg//m^(3) is tied to one end of a string and the outer end is tied to the bottom of the vessel as shown in figure. The block is immersed with two fifths of its volume in the liquid of lower density. The entire system is kept in an elevator which is moving upwards with an acceleration of a=g/2 . Find the tension in the string.
