A U-tube od uniform cross section as shown in figure is partially filled with a liquid I. Another liquid II which does not mix with liquid I is poured into one side. It is found that the liquid levels of the two sides of the tube are the same, while the level of liquid I has risen by 2cm. If the specific gravity of liquid I is 1.1 the specific gravity of liquid II must be

A tube of length h (which is wide enough so that surface tension effects can be neglected) is filled with air and closed at one end is lowered into a tank of mercury to a depth h as shown; so that mercury rises a distance x into the tube. If the mercury barometer also reads 'h', then
                               

1. h (h-x)=h2

2. (2h-x) (h-x)=h2

3. (2h-x) (h+x)=h2
