A U tube contains water and methylated spirts separated by mercury columns in the two arms are in level with 10.0cm of water in one arm and 12.5 cm of spirit in the other. What is the relative density of spirit?

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

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 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)

A U-tube of uniform cross section (see figure) is partially filled with a liquid I. Another liquid II which does not mix with liquid I is poured into one side. It is found that the liquid levels of the two sides of the tube are the same, while the level of liquid I has risen by 2cm. If the specific gravity of liquid I is 1.1, the specific gravity of liquid II must be

A device used to measure the specific gravity of a liquid is called a hydrogmeter. In a simple hydrometer there is a cylindrical galss tube with some lead-weight at its bottom. The device floats in liquid while remaining vertical. The top part of the tube extends above the liquid and the divisions marked on the tube allows one to directly read the specific gravity of the liquid. The scale on the tube is calibrated such that in pure water it reads 1.0 at the water surface and a lenght z_(0) of the tube is submerged. calculate the specific gravity of the liquid if the liquid level is DeltaZ above the 1.0 mark. Disregard the curvature of the tube bottom.

A U-tube of uniform cross-section shown in figure is partially filled with liquid Igt Another liquid II which does not mix with I is poured into one side. The liquid levels of the two sides is found the same, while the level of liquid I has risen by 2 cm. If the specific gravity of liquid I is 1.1, then specific gravity of liquid II must be

A liquid of specific gravity 0.8 rises up in a capillary tube up to a height of 10 cm, while mercury falls down by 4 cm in the same tube. If the angle of contact between surface of the tube and liquid is zero and it is 135^(@) for mercury, calculate the ratio of surface tension of mercury and the liquid. Take, specific gravity of mercury =13.6 cos 135^@=-0.71
