A thin uniform tube is bent into a circle of radius in the virtical plane. Equal volumes of two immiscible liquids, whose densities are \rho_2 fill half the circle. The angle between the radius vector passing through the common interface and the vertical is
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
A.
Step-by-step solution
Pressure at interface A must be same from both the sides to be in equilibrium.

\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 ^{-1}\left(\frac{\rho_1-\rho_2}{\rho_1+\rho_2}\right), soclosest answer is (a)$
