A UUU tube with both ends open to the atmosphere is partially filled with water. Oil, which is immiscible with water, is poured into one side until it stands at a distance of 10mm10\mathrm{mm}10mm above the water level on the other side. Meanwhile, the water rises by 65mm65\mathrm{mm}65mm from its original level (see diagram). The density of the oil is____(ρw=1000kgm−3)({\rho }_{w}=1000\mathrm{kg} {m}^{-3})(ρw​=1000kgm−3)

Consider a water tank shown in the figure. It has one wall at $x=L$ and can be taken to be very wide in the $z$ direction. When filled with a liquid of surface tension $S$ and density $\rho$, the liquid surface makes angle $\theta_0\left(\theta_0 \ll 1\right)$ with the $x$-axis at $x=L$. If $y(x)$ is the height of the surface then the equation for $y(x)$ is: ![NEET 2025 Physics, Mechanical Properties of Fluids — question figure](https://prepforbharat.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/exam/616059730283de43c87e3e22/Physics/images/Mechanical_Properties_of_Fluids/682c9a92c2281abe1696a0a1/question_1__q_682c9a92c2281abe1696a0a1__cdn-question-pool.getmarks.app__apNa77tO8zggC1qbUK0Cc-__LAswz6bHpIOciKbseBc.original.fullsiz__2ce9bc34e2_final_ppt_sync.png) $\left(\operatorname{take} \theta(x)=\sin \theta(x)=\tan \theta(x)=\frac{d y}{d x}, g\right.$ is the acceleration due to gravity)
