Detailed Solution

Question Image
h₁ = R(1 - sinθ); h₂ = R(1 - cosθ); h₃ = R(1 + sinθ)
$\large \therefore$ Pressure at the interface
$\large \Rightarrow \rho_1g(h_1-h_2)=\rho_2g(h_3-h_2)$
$\large \Rightarrow \rho_1(cos\theta-sin\theta)=\rho_2(sin\theta+cos\theta)$
$\large \Rightarrow \frac {cos\theta+sin\theta}{cos\theta-sin\theta}=\frac {\rho_1}{\rho_2}$
$\large \Rightarrow cot\theta = \frac {\rho_1+\rho_2}{\rho_1-\rho_2}\Rightarrow \theta=tan^{-1}\left ( \frac {\rho_1-\rho_2}{\rho_1+\rho_2} \right )$
