Question: A U - tube that is open on both ends has a moveable disc in it that can move frictionlesslike a piston from left

 A U-tube that is open on both ends has a moveable disc in it that can move frictionless like a piston 
from left to right, but that keeps matter from crossing from one side of the tube to the other. Liquid
water (d=1.0 g/cm3) is added to one side of the tube. Liquid ethanol (d =0.798 g/cm3) is added to the
side of the tube. In order to keep the disk from moving, how will the volumes of water and ethanol
compare? a) more water must be added
b) more ethanol must be added
c) equal amounts of water and ethanol must be added
