Two communicating vessels contain mercury. The diameter of one vessel is n times larger than the diameter of the other. A column of water of height h is poured into the left vessel. The mercury level will rise in the right-hand vessel (s = relative density of mercury and $ρ$ = density of water) by

Detailed Solution

If the level in narrow tube goes down by h₁ then in wider tube goes up to h₂,
Now, ${πr}^{2} h_{1} = π (nr)^{2} h_{2} \Rightarrow h_{1} = n^{2} h_{2}$
Now, pressure at point A = pressure at point B
$hρg = (h_{1} + h_{2}) ρ' g$
$\Rightarrow h = (n^{2} h_{2} + h_{2}) s (As s = \frac{ρ^{'}}{ρ}) \Rightarrow h_{2} = \frac{h}{(n^{2} + 1) s}$
