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

  • 650 kg m–3

  • 425 kg m–3

  • 800 kg m–3

  • 928 kg m–3

Solution

D.

928 kg m–3

hoil ρoil g = hwater ρwater g
140 × ρoil= 130 × ρwater
straight rho subscript oil space equals space 13 over 14 space straight x space 1000 space kg divided by straight m cubed
straight rho subscript oil space equals space 928 space kg space straight m to the power of negative 3 end exponent
