Question

A U-shaped tube is filled with water until the liquid level reaches B=36 cm above the bottom of the tube, as shown in the figure below. The areas of the two arms of the tube are equal. An oil, which has a density 90% of the density of water, is now poured into one arm of the U-tube until the water level in the other arm of the tube reaches A = 42 cm above the bottom of the tube. Calculate the height H of the oil column and mark the alternative that is closest to the value found.

Choose the correct alternative:

a) 20/3 m

b) 9/2 m

c) 40/3 m

d) 9 m
