The diagram below 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: B. \(\mathit{h}_1 = \frac{\mathit{h}_2 \mathit{e}_2}{\mathit{e}_1}\)

Explanation

\(\frac{\mathit{h}_2}{\mathit{h}_2} = \mathit{h}_1 = \frac{\mathit{h}_2 \mathit{e}_2}{\mathit{e}_1}\)
