To Find: The density of the oil when water and oil are poured into U- shaped tube.
Answer to Problem 16P
The density of the oil is
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Height of the water,
Height of the oil,
Formula used:
If pressure is equal at point a & b then
Here,
From the above expression,
Calculation:
The pressure at point a and b is equal means the height is same at these two points in the same liquid of fluid. If these points are not equal (a & b), in that case the fluid would flow. Now calculate the pressure at point a and b. First, consider the atmospheric pressure at the top surface of each liquid.
Conclusion:
The density of the oil is
