Question

Please explain the steps!

A block of mass 20g sits at rest on a plate that is at the top of the fluid on one side of a U-tube as shown below:

A block of mass 20 g sits a t rest on a plate that is a t the top of the fluid on one side of a U-tube as shown below. The U-tube contains two different fluids with densities rho 1 = 1095 k g /m 3 and rho 2 = 550 k g /m 3 and has a cross sectional area A = 5.5 Times 10-4 m2. The surfaces are offset by an amount h as shown. Which side of the U-tube contains the fluid with the greater density? Find h. (Assume h is positive.)

Explanation / Answer

h=26.72cm
