Question

A simple open U-tube contains mercury. When a height h of water is poured into the right arm of the tube, how high above its initial level does the mercury rise in the left arm? Take the density of mercury to be pHg and the density of water to be pw. State your answer in terms of the given variables. I added my picture of my answer below.. It is incorrect. I will give 5 stars for correct answer.

When a height h of water is poured into the left arm? take the density of mercury to be P hg and the density of water to be pw.

Explanation / Answer

Pressure balance,

phg x h' = pw x h

h'= pwh/pHG

Change in height in left arm = h'/2 = pwh/2pHG

(h'/2 mercury shifted from right arm to left arm)
