Two fluids with two different densities (r1> r 2) are
added to a U-shaped tube. The right branch of the tube is
open to the air. The left branch is sealed, and a pump is used
to decrease the pressure to a value smaller than atmospheric
pressure.
What is the relationship between the pressure at points 1 in
Fluid 1(P1) and 2 in Fluid 2(P 2)?
A. Not enough information to determine as the values of
r1 and r2 are not given.
B. P2< P1
C. P2=P1
D. Not enough information to determine as pressure in the left branch is not given.
E. P2> P1
