NEET · Physics · STD 11 - 9.1 fluid mechanics

In a \(U-\)tube as shown in figure, water and oil are in the left side and right side of the tube respectively. The helghts from the bottom for water and oil columns are \(15\; \mathrm{cm}\) and \(20\; \mathrm{cm}\) respectively. The density of the oil is......\(kg/{m}^{3}\) [take \(\rho_{water} \left.=1000 \;\mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{m}^{3}\right]\)

  1. A \(1200\)
  2. B \(750\)
  3. C \(1000\)
  4. D \(1333\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(750\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\rho_{oil} \mathrm{h}_{\text {oil }}={ \rho_{water} } \mathrm{h}_{\text {water }} \) \(\Rightarrow \rho_{oil} =\frac{1000(15)}{20}=750 \mathrm{kg} \mathrm{m}^{-3}\)
