Q 1 :    

A U 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 10 mm above the water level on the other side. Meanwhile, the water rises by 65 mm from its original level (see diagram). The density of the oil is           [2017]

  • 425 kg m-3

     

  • 800 kg m-3

     

  • 928 kg m-3

     

  • 650 kg m-3

Pressure at point C,

PC=Pa+ρwaterghwater

where hwater=CE=(65+65)mm=130mm

Pressure at point B, PB=Pa+ρoilghoil

where hoil=AB=(65+65+10)mm=140mm

In liquid, pressure is the same at the same liquid level, 

PB=PCρoilghoil=ρwaterghwater

ρoil=130×103140=1314×103=928.57kg m-3



Q 2 :    

Two non-mixing liquids of densities ρ and nρ (n>1) are put in a container. The height of each liquid is h. A solid cylinder of length L and density d is put in this container. The cylinder floats with its axis vertical and length pL (p<1) in the denser liquid. The density d is equal to           [2016]
 

  • {2+(n-1)p}ρ

     

  • {1+(n-1)p}ρ

     

  • {1+(n+1)p}ρ

     

  • {2+(n+1)p}ρ

A = area of cross-section of cylinder

Using law of floatation,

weight of cylinder=upthrust by two liquids

L×A×d×g=nρ×(pL×A)g+ρ(L-pL)Ag

         d=npρ+ρ(1-p)=(np+1-p)ρ
