What will happen if there is a vacuum just above one limb of the U-tube half filled with liquid as shown in figure?

A

The liquid will rise up in the limb where there is vacuum and move down in the other limb.

B

The liquid will go down in the limb where there is vacuum and rise up in the other limb.

C

The liquid will go down in both the limbs of U-tube.

D

The liquid will rise up in both the limbs of U-tube.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
The limb above which there is a vacuum doesn.t experience any atmosphere pressure. So, the liquid in other limb is forced down and the level in the other limb rises.
