Problem

In a U-tube, water is poured into the left limb up to

20\,\text{cm}

above the mercury–water interface. How much higher will the mercury level stand in the right limb compared to the left limb? (Density of mercury

=13.6\times10^{3}\,\text{kg\,m}^{-3}

; density of water

=1.0\times10^{3}\,\text{kg\,m}^{-3}

.) a)

0.75\,\text{cm}

3.0\,\text{cm}

1.5\,\text{cm}

1.6\,\text{cm}
