The area of cross-section of the wider tube shown in figure is $800$ $cm^2$. If a mass of $12$ $ kg $ is placed on the massless piston, the difference in heights $h$ in the level of water in the two tubes is ........ $cm$

A

$10$

B

$6$

C

$15$

D

$2$

Solution

Pressure due to difference in heights will be balanced by pressure due to $12 \mathrm{kg}$ block

$\Rightarrow \rho g h=\frac{120}{800 \times 10^{-4}}$

$10^{4} \mathrm{h}=\frac{120}{800} \times 10^{4}$

$\mathrm{h}=\frac{12}{80}=\frac{3}{20} \mathrm{m}=15 \mathrm{cm}$
