A simple U-tube contains mercury. When 11.2 cm of water is poured into the right ann, how high does the mercury rise in the left arm from its initial level ?
When water is added to one side of the U tube, the rise in mercury level of the other side of the U tube will be depend on the density of water and mercury.The height of water added in one arm = 13.6cm, we have to calculate the corresponding rise in level in the other armThe pressure difference tn the two arms will be equalSo, the pressure difference in water column = the pressure difference in the other arm or mercury i.e. hHg d g = hW d g hHg = hW×density of water × g ÷ density of mercury × g = 13.6cm × 1000kg/m3 × g ÷ 13.6 × 1000kg/m3 × g = 1cmi.e. When 13.6cm water is added to one arm of the U tube, only a height of 1cm will be the rise in mercury level in the other arm
