The diagram above 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?
Attached Figure / Diagram
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
\(\mathit{h}_1 = \frac{\mathit{e}_1}{\mathit{h}_2 \mathit{e}_2}\)
Verified Correct Answer: B.
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
\(\frac{\mathit{h}_2}{\mathit{h}_2} = \mathit{h}_1 = \frac{\mathit{h}_2 \mathit{e}_2}{\mathit{e}_1}\)
