उत्तर १
The given system of water, mercury, and methylated spirit is shown as follows:
Height of the spirit column, h1 = 12.5 cm = 0.125 m
Height of the water column, h2 = 10 cm = 0.1 m
P0 = Atmospheric pressure
ρ1 = Density of spirit
ρ2 = Density of water
Pressure at point B = `P_0 + h_1rho_1g`
Pressure at point D = `P_0 + h_2rho_2g`
Pressure at points B and D is the same.
`P_0 + h_1rho_1g =h_2rho_2g`
`rho_1/rho_2 = h_2/h_1`
= 10/12.5 = 0.8
Therefore, the specific gravity of spirit is 0.8.
उत्तर २
For water column in one arm of U tube, h1 = 10.0 cm; ρ1 (density) = 1 g cm-3
For spirit column in other arm of U tube, h2 = 12.5 cm; ρ2 =?
As the mercury columns in the two arms of U tube are in level, therefore pressure exerted by each is equal.
Hence h1ρ1g = h2ρ2g or ρ2 = h1ρ1/h2 =10 x 1/12.5 = 0.8 g cm-3
Therefore, relative density of spirit = ρ2/ρ1 = 0.8/1 = 0.8
