Properties Of Solids And Liquids Question 200

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 ρ = density of water) by

Options:

A) n2h(n+1)2s

B) h(n2+1)s

C) h(n+1)2s

D) hn2s

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, πr2h1=π(nr)2h2

therefore h1=n2h2

Now, pressure at point A = pressure at point B hρg=(h1+h2)ρg

therefore h = (n2h2+h2)sg

As (s=ρρ)

therefore h2=h(n2+1)s
