Question

Two liquids which do not react chemically are placed in a bent tube a shown in the figure. The heights of the liquids above their surface of separation are, directly proportional to their densities, inversely proportional to their densities, directly proportional to square of their densities, equal

The pressure at the interface must be same, calculated via either tube. Since, both tube are open to the atmosphere, we must have h 1 ρ 1 g = h 2 ρ 2 g or h 1 ρ 1 = h 2 ρ 2 or h ρ = c o n s t a n t or h ∝ 1 ρ
