Question: Two communicating vessels contain mercury. The diameter of one vessel is n times larger than the diameter of the other. A column of water of height h is poured into the left vessel. The mercury level will rise in the right-hand vessel (s = relative density of mercury and = density of water) by
Options:

B)
C)
D)
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
If the level in narrow tube goes down by h1 then in wider tube goes up to h2,
Now,
therefore
Now, pressure at point A = pressure at point B
therefore h =
As
therefore
