    A bucket has oil of relative density 1.2 up to a     height of 3 cm. On top of the oil there is a            water column of height of 10 cm. If the    relative density of mercury is 13.6, the   pressure at the bottom of the beaker is :

    A)  1 cm of Hg         

    B)  5 cm of Hg

    C)  13 cm of Hg       

    D)  15 cm of Hg

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    Pressure at the bottom \[P={{h}_{1}}{{d}_{1}}g+{{h}_{2}}{{d}_{2}}g\] \[=(3\times {{10}^{-2}}\times 1.2\times {{10}^{3}}\times g)\]                                 \[+(10\times {{10}^{-2}}\times {{10}^{3}}g)\] \[=13.6\times {{10}^{-2}}\times {{10}^{3}}g=136g\] \[=136\frac{g}{13.6\times {{10}^{3}}g}={{10}^{-2}}m\] \[=1cm\] of \[Hg\]
