Question

A narrow, U-shaped glass
tube with open ends is filled with
25.0 cm of oil (of specific gravity
0.80) and 25.0 cm of water on opposite
sides, with a barrier separating the
liquids (Fig.). (a) Assume that
the two liquids do not mix, and find the
final heights of the columns of liquid in
each side of the tube after the barrier is
removed. (b) For the following cases,
arrive at your answer by simple physical
reasoning, not by calculations:
(i) What would be the height on each
side if the oil and water had equal densities? (ii) What would the heights
be if the oil’s density were much less than that of water?
