Answer:
0.043 m
Explanation:
From the attachment, the shaded part is the ethyl alcohol. The crossed part on the other hand, is that of glycerin.
The height of the Ethyl Alcohol is h2 = 0.25 m, it's density is ρ2 = 790 kg/m³. The density of glycerin is ρ1 = 1260 kg/m³
If we assume pressure at the two points to be the same, then
P1 = P2
ρ1.g.V1 = ρ2.g.V2
ρ1.A.h1 = ρ2.A.h2
ρ1.h1 = ρ2.h2, making h1 subject of formula
h1 = ρ2.h2 / ρ1, so that
h1 = 790 * 0.25 / 1260
h1 = 197.5 / 1260
h1 = 0.157 m
Δh = 0.2 - 0.157
Δh = 0.043 m or 4.3 cm
