A tube with both ends open to the atmosphere is partially filled with water. Oil, which is immiscible with water, is poured into one side until it stands at a distance of above the water level on the other side. Meanwhile, the water rises by from its original level (see diagram). The density of the oil is____\left({ρ}_{w} = 1000kg{m}^{- 3}\right)
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
D.
Step-by-step solution
Pressure in a stationary liquid at the same level is the same everywhere. As both ends of the tube are open, the pressure on both free surfaces should be equal.
