An open-ended $U$-tube of uniform cross-sectional area contains water (density $1.0 $ gram/centimeter$^3$) standing initially $20$ centimeters from the bottom in each arm. An immiscible liquid of density $4.0$ grams/ centimeter $^3$ is added to one arm until a layer $5$ centimeters high forms, as shown in the figure above. What is the ratio $h_2/h_1$ of the heights of the liquid in the two arms?

  • B$5/2$
  • C$2/1$
  • D$3/2$

    A large cylindrical tank of cross-sectional area $1\ m^2 $ is filled with water. It has a small hole at a height of $1\ m $ from the bottom. $A$ movable piston of mass $5$ $kg$ is fitted on the top of the tank such that it can slide in the tank freely without friction. A load of $45$ $kg$ is applied on the top of water by piston, as shown in figure. The value of $v$ when piston is $7$ $m$ above the bottom is $(g = 10\ m/s^2)$ ....... $m/s$
