Oil and water don’t mix, and the mass density of oil is smaller than that of water. suppose water is poured into a u-shaped tube that is open at both ends until the water surface is halfway up each leg of the tube, and then some oil is poured on top of the water in the right leg. once the system comes to equilibrium, are the top of the oil column in the right leg and the top of the water column in the left leg at the same height? if not, which is higher?
the right leg (oil on top) is higher
the left leg (no oil) is higher
the two legs are the same height

Answer from: shan8793

The right leg (oil on top) is higher

Explanation:

Given:

The mass density of oil is lesser than the mass density of water.

When we pour water in a u-tube that is open at both the ends then the water on both the sides of the tube will rise up to the same height because the algebraic sum of the pressure exerted by the water column and the pressure of atmosphere on both the openings is equal.When we pour oil in the right side of the u-tube we observe that the column of liquid on the right side rises more than the column of the liquid on the left side. However we observe that there is rise on both sides of the u-tube.

This is justified by the equation:

$P=\rho.g.h$

where:

$\rho =$ density of the liquid

acceleration due to gravity

height of the liquid column

Answer: a charge of -1.0 × 10⁻⁴ c must be placed at x = 26 m.the sign of the charge will be the same sign as the -4.0 µc charge.======electricstatic force between two point charges is given by $f = \dfrac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}$ where k is coulomb's constant, 8.99×10⁹ n·m²/c², q₁ and q₂ are the point charges, and r is the distance between the two point charges.assign positive to q₁let q₁ = 6.0 µc, q₂ = -4.0 µc, q₀ represent the charge at the origin, and q₃ represent this new charge to place.the charge at the origin q₀ would experience the following force f₀₁ from q₁, with r = 6.0 m (note that 1 µc = 10⁻⁶ c) $f_{01} = \dfrac{kq_0q_1}{(\text{6.0 m})^2}$ the force from q₂ $f_{02} = \dfrac{kq_0q_2}{(\text{15 m})^2}$ the force from q₃ $f_{03} = \dfrac{kq_0q_1}{(\text{26 m})^2}$ the net force on the origin charge, q₀, has to be zero for no electrostatic forcehaving an equation where k and q₀ can be divided out of the equation will allow us to solve for q₃ $\begin{aligned} f_{net} & = 0\\ f_{01} + f_{02} + f_{03} & = 0 \\ \dfrac{kq_0q_1}{(\text{6.0 m})^2} + \dfrac{kq_0q_2}{(\text{15 m})^2} + \dfrac{kq_0q_3}{(\text{26 m})^2} & = 0 \\ kq_0 \left( \dfrac{q_1}{(\text{6.0 m})^2} + \dfrac{q_2}{(\text{15 m})^2} + \dfrac{q_3}{(\text{26 m})^2}\right) & = 0 \\ \dfrac{q_1}{(\text{6.0 m})^2} + \dfrac{q_2}{(\text{15 m})^2} + \dfrac{q_3}{(\text{26 m})^2} & = 0 \end{aligned}$ isolating: $\begin{aligned} \dfrac{q_3}{(\text{26 m})^2} & = -\dfrac{q_1}{(\text{6.0 m})^2} - \dfrac{q_2}{(\text{15 m})^2} \\ q_3 & = -(\text{26 m})^2\left(\dfrac{q_1}{(\text{6.0 m})^2} + \dfrac{q_2}{(\text{15 m})^2}\right) \\ q_3 & = -(\text{26 m})^2\left(\dfrac{6.0\times10^{-6} \text{ c}}{(\text{6.0 m})^2} + \dfrac{-4.0\times10^{-6} \text{ c}}{(\text{15 m})^2}\right) \\ q_3 & = -1.0064888 \times 10^{-4}\text{ c} \\ q_3 & = -1.0\times 10^{-4}\text{ c} \end{aligned}$ a charge of -1.0 × 10⁻⁴ c must be placed at x = 26 m.the sign of the charge will be the same as the -4.0 µc charge
