Two liquids of densities \(\rho_{1}\) and \(\rho_{2}\left(\rho_{2}=2 \rho_{1}\right)\) are filled up behind a square wall of side \(10\; \mathrm{m}\) as shown in figure. Each liquid has a height of \(5 \;\mathrm{m} .\) The ratio of the forces due to these liquids exerted on upper part \(MN\) to that at the lower pait \(NO\) is (Assume that the liquids are not mixing)

Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \(\frac 14\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\mathrm{F}_{1}=\frac{\rho \mathrm{gh}}{2} \times \mathrm{A}\)
\(\mathrm{F}_{2}=\left(\rho \mathrm{gh}+\frac{2 \rho \mathrm{gh}}{2}\right) \mathrm{A}\)
\(\frac{\mathrm{F}_{1}}{\mathrm{F}_{2}}=\frac{1}{4}\)
