Isothermal condition $\mathrm{P}_{1} \mathrm{V}_{1}=\mathrm{P}_{2} \mathrm{V}_{2}$

$\left(\rho_{1} {g} 5\right)(2 \mathrm{V})=\left[\left(\rho_{1} g 75\right)+\rho_{2}{g} h\right] V$

$\Rightarrow \rho_{1} \mathrm{g} 75=\rho_{2} {g} \mathrm{h}$

$\Rightarrow \mathrm{h}=75 \times \frac{\rho_{1}}{\rho_{2}}=\frac{75 \times 40}{3}=1000 \mathrm{cm}=10 \mathrm{m}$
