Find density of ethyl alcohol
Find density of ethyl alcohol

Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
A.
Step-by-step solution
Pressure at left hand of U-tube,
\left(10 \times 10^{-2}\right)\quad \mathrm{p}_1=\mathrm{p}_0+\rho_1U\quad \mathrm{p}_1=\mathrm{p}_2
\Rightarrow \quad \mathrm{p}_0+\rho_1=\mathrm{p}_0+1.2 \rho_2
\therefore\rho_2=\frac{\rho_1}{1.2}=\frac{1000}{1.2}=833.3 \mathrm{~kg} / \mathrm{m}^3=0.83 \mathrm{gm} / \mathrm{cm}^3
