A thin uniform tube is bent into a circle of radius rr in the virtical plane. Equal volumes of two immiscible liquids, whose densities are ρ1and\rho_1 and\rho_2(ρ1>ρ2)\left(\rho_1>\rho_2\right) fill half the circle. The angle θ\theta between the radius vector passing through the common interface and the vertical isA thin uniform tube is bent into a circle of radius r in the virtical plane. Equal volumes of two immiscible liquids,

Options

  1. Aθ=tan⁡−1[π2(ρ1−ρ2ρ1+ρ2)]\theta=\tan ^{-1}\left[\frac{\pi}{2}\left(\frac{\rho_1-\rho_2}{\rho_1+\rho_2}\right)\right]
  2. Bθ=tan⁡−1π2(ρ1+ρ2ρ1−ρ2)\theta=\tan ^{-1} \frac{\pi}{2}\left(\frac{\rho_1+\rho_2}{\rho_1-\rho_2}\right)
  3. Cθ=tan⁡−1π(ρ1ρ2)\theta=\tan ^{-1} \pi\left(\frac{\rho_1}{\rho_2}\right)
  4. Dθ=tan⁡−1π2(ρ2ρ1)\theta=\tan ^{-1} \frac{\pi}{2}\left(\frac{\rho_2}{\rho_1}\right)

Correct answer

A. θ=tan⁡−1[π2(ρ1−ρ2ρ1+ρ2)]\theta=\tan ^{-1}\left[\frac{\pi}{2}\left(\frac{\rho_1-\rho_2}{\rho_1+\rho_2}\right)\right]

Step-by-step solution

Pressure at interface A must be same from both the sides to be in equilibrium. A thin uniform tube is bent into a circle of radius r in the virtical plane. Equal volumes of two immiscible liquids,
∴(Rcos⁡θ+Rsin⁡θ)ρ2 g=(Rcos⁡θ−Rsin⁡θ)ρ1 g\begin{aligned} \therefore \quad &(\mathrm{R} \cos \theta+\mathrm{R} \sin \theta) \rho_2 \mathrm{~g} \\ &=(\mathrm{R} \cos \theta-\mathrm{R} \sin \theta) \rho_1 \mathrm{~g} \end{aligned}\Rightarrow \quad \frac{\rho_1}{\rho_2}=\frac{\cos \theta+\sin \theta}{\cos \theta-\sin \theta}=\frac{1+\tan \theta}{1-\tan \theta} \Rightarrow \rho_1-\rho_1 \tan \theta=\rho_2+\rho_2 \tan \theta \Rightarrow \quad\left(\rho_1+\rho_2\right)tan⁡θ=ρ1−ρ2∴θ=\tan \theta=\rho_1-\rho_2 \therefore \quad \theta=\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{\rho_1-\rho_2}{\rho_1+\rho_2}\right), soclosest answer is (a)$
