Two copper vessels \(A\) and \(B\) have the same base area but are of different shapes. \(A\) takes twice the volume of water that \(B\) requires to fill up to a particular common height. Then the correct statement among the following is:
1. pressure on the base area of vessels \(A\) and \(B\) is the same.
2. pressure on the base area of vessels \(A\) and \(B\) is not the same.
3. both vessels \(A\) and \(B\) weigh the same.
4. vessel \(B\) weighs twice that of \(A\).

A barometer is constructed using a liquid (density = \(760~\text{kg/m}^3\)). What would be the height of the liquid column, when a mercury barometer reads \(76~\text{cm}?\) 
(the density of mercury = \(13600~\text{kg/m}^3\))

1. \(1.36~\text m\) 2. \(13.6~\text m\)
3. \(136~\text m\) 4. \(0.76~\text m\)

In a U-tube, as shown in the figure, the water and oil are in the left side and right side of the tube respectively. The height of the water and oil columns are \(15~\text{cm}\) and \(20~\text{cm}\) respectively. The density of the oil is: 
\(\left[\text{take}~\rho_{\text{water}}= 1000~\text{kg/m}^{3}\right]\)

                    

1. \(1200~\text{kg/m}^{3}\) 2. \(750~\text{kg/m}^{3}\)
3. \(1000~\text{kg/m}^{3}\) 4. \(1333~\text{kg/m}^{3}\)
