A variable immersion hydrometer is used to measure the specific gravity of two liquidsWhen the hydrometer reads 0.8, half of the total length of the hydrometer stem is immersed in the liquid and when the hydrometer reads 0.6,3//4 th of the total length of the hydrometer stem is immersed in the liquid. What is the maximum and minimum reading that can be measured by using this hydrometer ? |

Answer» Solution :(i) `(v+(la)/(2))d=w` (1) `(v+(3la)/(4))d=w` (2) EQUATE (1) and (2) to find a relation between v and la. SUBSTITUTE the VALUE of la in equation to determine 'w' in TERMS of 'v'. When the hydrometer reads minimum (ii) `d_(1)=w` (3) When the hydrometer reads maximum (v+la) `d_(2)=w`(4) Substitute the value of 'w' in (3) and (4) to setermine `d_(1)andd_(2)`. |
