An open-ended $U$-tube of uniform cross-sectional area contains water (density $10^3 \ kg \ m^{-3}$). Initially,the water level stands at $0.29 \ m$ from the bottom in each arm. Kerosene oil (a water-immiscible liquid) of density $800 \ kg \ m^{-3}$ is added to the left arm until its length is $0.1 \ m$,as shown in the schematic figure. The ratio $\left(\frac{h_1}{h_2}\right)$ of the heights of the liquid in the two arms is-

The limbs of a $U$-tube are lowered into vessels $A$ and $B$,where vessel $A$ contains water. Some air is pumped out through the top of the tube at $C$. The liquids in the left limb (in vessel $A$) and the right limb (in vessel $B$) rise to heights of $10\, cm$ and $12\, cm$ respectively above the free surfaces of the liquids in the vessels. The density of liquid $B$ is ........ $g/cm^3$.
