Mercury is poured into a U-tube as shown. The left arm of the tube has cross-sectional area
A1 of 10.0 cm2
, and the right arm has a cross-sectional area A 2 of 5.00 cm2
. One hundred
grams of water are then poured into the right arm. (a) Determine the length of the water
column in the right arm of the U-tube. (b) Given that the density of mercury is 13.6 g/cm3
,
