For this question you need to understand what is the specific garvity . Its the ratio of density of substance to the density of water. Since the mercury level is same level means pressure due to water is equal to pressure due to spirit. Water pressure = spirit pressure. h1 d1 g = h2 d2 g d2 = h1...

Since the mercury level is same level means pressure due to water is equal to pressure due to spirit.

Water pressure = spirit pressure.

h1 d1 g = h2 d2 g
d2 = h1 d1 / h2

10 × 1 / 12.5 = 0.8g/ cm^3

Specific gravity of spirit = 0.8 / 1 = 0.8

The Earth moving round the Sun in a circular orbit is acted upon by a force, and hence
work must be done on the Earth by this force. Do you agree with this statement?
The force on earth jn circular trajectory is gravity,acting radially inward...the direction of motion is tangential.....as u knw work is dot product of force and dx, the work done is zero.
