A $U-$tube contains water and methylated spirit separated by mercury. The mercury columns in the two arms are in level with $10.0\; cm$ of water in one arm and $12.5\; cm $ of spirit in the other. if $15.0\; cm$ of water and spirit each are further poured into the respective arms of the tube, what is the difference in the levels (in $cm$) of mercury in the two arms?
(the specific gravity of spirit is $0.8.)$

A $U$ tube with both ends open to the atmosphere, is partially filled with water. Oil, which is immiscible with water, is poured into one side until it stands at a distance of $10\,\, mm$ above the water level on the other side. Meanwhile the water rises by $65\,\, mm$ from its original level (see diagram). The density of the oil is ......... $kg/m^3$
