$A$ $U$-tube contains water and methylated spirit separated by mercury. The mercury columns in the two arms are initially in level with $10.0 \; cm$ of water in one arm and $12.5 \; cm$ of spirit in the other. If $15.0 \; cm$ of water and spirit each are further poured into the respective arms of the tube,what is the difference in the levels (in $cm$) of mercury in the two arms? (The specific gravity of spirit is $0.8$.)

  • A
    $0.22$
  • B
    $0.86$
  • C
    $1.22$
  • D
    $2.12$

Consider two liquids $A$ and $B$ in a $U$-shaped tube in static equilibrium as shown in the figure. If the density of the liquid $A$ is twice the density of liquid $B$,then the relation between $h_A$ and $h_B$ is

$A$ $U$ tube with both ends open to the atmosphere is partially filled with water. Oil,which is immiscible with water,is poured into one side until it stands at a distance of $10\, mm$ above the water level on the other side. Meanwhile,the water rises by $65\, mm$ from its original level (see diagram). The density of the oil is ......... $kg/m^3$.
