Question

In a U-tube in which the cross-sectional area of the limb on the left is one-quarter, the limb on the right contains mercury (density 13.6 g/cm3), and the level of mercury in the narrow limb is at a distance of 36 cm from the upper end of the tube. What will be the rise in the level of mercury in the right limb if the left limb is filled to the top with water?

  1. 1.2 space cm
  2. 2.35 space cm
  3. 0.56 space cm
  4. 0.8 space cm

The correct answer is: 0.56 space cm
