A uniform long tube is bent into a circle of radius \(\mathrm{R}\) and it lies in vertical plane. Two liquids of same volume but densities \(\rho\) and \(\delta\) fill half the tube. The angle \(\theta\) is

  1. A \(\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{\rho-\delta}{\rho+\delta}\right)\)
  2. B \(\tan ^{-1} \frac{\rho}{\delta}\)
  3. C \(\tan ^{-1} \frac{\delta}{\rho}\)
  4. D \(\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{\rho+\delta}{\rho-\delta}\right)\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{\rho-\delta}{\rho+\delta}\right)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\begin{aligned} & \text { Hints: } \delta g R(\cos \theta+\sin \theta)=\rho g R(\cos \theta-\sin \theta) \\ & \delta \cos \theta+\delta \sin \theta=\rho \cos \theta-\rho \sin \theta \\ & \sin \theta(\delta+\rho)=\cos \theta(\rho-\delta) \\ & \tan…
