Question

Two liquids, 1 and 2, are in equilbrium in a U-tube that isopen at both ends. The liquids do not mix, and liquid 1 restson top of liquid 2. How is the density of liquid 1 related tothe density of liquid 2?

a) rho1 is equal to rho2 becausethe liquids are in equilibrium
b) rho1 is greater than rho2
c)rho1 is less than rho2
d) there is not enough info to tell which liquid has greaterdensity

Answer 1

option (c)

Step-by-step explanation:

As the liquid 1 rests on the top of liquid 2, it means the density of liquid 2 is more than the liquid 1.

Thus, option (c) is correct.
