U-Tube Specific Gravity Simulator
Interactive visualization to determine the specific gravity of spirit using a U-tube with water and mercury
Water Column
Height
10.0 cm
Density
1.0 g/cm³
Spirit Column
Height
12.5 cm
Specific Gravity
0.8
Physics Calculation
Pressure at point A:
P₀ + ρ₁gh₁
Pressure at point B:
P₀ + ρ₂gh₂
Equilibrium condition:
ρ₁h₁ = ρ₂h₂
Specific gravity (ρ₁/ρ₂):
h₂/h₁ = 10.0/12.5 = 0.8
