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 h 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`

Water and oil are poured into the two limbs of a U-tube containig mercury. The interface of the mercury and the liquids are at the same height in both limbs. Determine the height of the water column h_(1) if that of the oil h_(2)=20cm . The density of the oil is 0.9 . .

Mercury of density rho_(m) is poured into cylinderical communicating vessels of cross-sectional area 2A and A respectively. A solid iron cube of volume V_(0) and relative density 2 is dropped into the broad vessel, and as a result the level of the mercury in it rises. Then, water is poured into the broader vessel until the mercury reaches the previous level in it. Find the height of water column if it does not submerge the block.
