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
650 kg m-3
425 kg m-3
800 kg m-3
928 kg m-3
@7561r
Gauge pressure -
Pressure diffrence between hydrostatic and atmospheric pressure
- wherein
Pressure of two points lie in the same horizontal level should be same and
Both ends of tube is open, so the pressure on both the free surface must be equal.
