Question on: JAMB Physics - 2005
Two liquids L1 and L2 are contained in a U - tube. The height and the density of L1 are 8 cm and 103 kgm-3 respectively. If the density of L2 is 800 kgm-3, its height measured from the same level is
A
8 cm
B
10 cm
C
16 cm
D
12 cm
Ask EduPadi AI for a detailed answer
Correct Option: B
Generally, from Hares Experiment, density is inversely proportional to height
i.e h ∝1/d; → h1d1 = h2d2
∴ 8 x 103 = h2 x 800
= 10cm
i.e h ∝1/d; → h1d1 = h2d2
∴ 8 x 103 = h2 x 800
| ∴ h2 = | 8 x 103 |
| _800 |
= 10cm
