    A $U-$tube contains water and methylated spirit separated by mercury. The mercury columns in the two arms are in level with $10.0\; cm$ of water in one arm and $12.5\; cm $ of spirit in the other. if $15.0\; cm$ of water and spirit each are further poured into the respective arms of the tube, what is the difference in the levels  (in $cm$) of mercury in the two arms?

    (the specific gravity of spirit is $0.8.)$

    The reading of pressure metre attached with a closed pipe is $4.5 \times 10^4 \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{m}^2$. On opening the valve, water starts flowing and the reading of pressure metre falls to $2.0 \times 10^4 \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{m}^2$. The velocity of water is found to be $\sqrt{\mathrm{V}} \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$. The value of $\mathrm{V}$ is__________
