Motion of an oscillating liquid column in a U-tube is
Answer»
periodic but not simple harmonic. non-periodic simple harmonic and time period is independent of the density of the LIQUID. simple harmonic and time period is directly proportional to the density of the liquid.
Solution :Motion of an OSCILLATING liquid column in a U tube is SHM with period, `T=2pisqrt((H)/(G))`, where h is the height of liquid column in one arm of U tube in equilibrium position of liquid. Therefore, T is independent of density of liquid.
