$A$ $U$-shaped tube is partially filled with an incompressible liquid of density $1.2 \ g \ cm^{-3}$. Oil,which does not mix with the liquid,is poured into the left side of the $U$-tube until the liquid rises by $15 \ cm$ on the right side. If the density of the oil is $0.9 \ g \ cm^{-3}$,the oil level will stand higher than the liquid level on the right side of the $U$-tube by: (in $cm$)
