To solve the problem of finding the level difference \( h \) between the meniscuses in the two arms of a U-tube with unequal radii \( R \) and \( r \) (where \( R > r \)), we will follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the System**: - We have a U-tube with two vertical arms. The left arm has a radius \( r \) and the right arm has a radius \( R \). A liquid with surface tension \( T \) and density \( \rho \) is in equilibrium inside the U-tube. 2. **Pressure at the Meniscus**: ...
