There is a circular tube in a vertical plane. Two liquids which do not mix and of densities $d_1$ and $d_2$ are filled in the tube. Each liquid subtends a $90^o$ angle at the centre. The radius joining their interface makes an angle $\alpha$ with the vertical. The ratio $\frac{d_1}{d_2}$ is

  • A
    $\frac{1 + \cos\alpha}{1 - \cos\alpha}$
  • B
    $\frac{1 + \tan\alpha}{1 - \tan\alpha}$
  • C
    $\frac{1 + \sin\alpha}{1 - \cos\alpha}$
  • D
    $\frac{1 + \sin\alpha}{1 - \sin\alpha}$

An open-ended $U$-tube of uniform cross-sectional area contains water (density $1.0 \text{ g/cm}^3$) standing initially $20 \text{ cm}$ from the bottom in each arm. An immiscible liquid of density $4.0 \text{ g/cm}^3$ is added to one arm until a layer $5 \text{ cm}$ high forms,as shown in the figure. What is the ratio $h_2/h_1$ of the heights of the liquid in the two arms?
