The diagram above illustrates a Hare’s apparatus. (mathit{e}_1, mathit{e}_2) represent densities and (mathit{h}_1, mathit{h}_2) heights of columns of liquids. Which of the following equations is correct?
-
A.
(mathit{h}_1 = frac{mathit{h}_2 mathit{e}_1}{mathit{e}_2}) -
B.
(mathit{h}_1 = frac{mathit{h}_2 mathit{e}_2}{mathit{e}_1}) -
C.
(mathit{h}_1 = frac{mathit{e}_1 mathit{e}_2}{mathit{h}_2}) -
D.
(mathit{h}_1 = frac{mathit{e}_1}{mathit{h}_2 mathit{e}_2})
Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation
(frac{mathit{h}_2}{mathit{h}_2} = mathit{h}_1 = frac{mathit{h}_2 mathit{e}_2}{mathit{e}_1})
