1. \(\dfrac{1}{2} m v^{3}\)                                   

2. \(m v^{3}\)

3. \(\dfrac{1}{2} m v^{2}\)                                   

4. \(\dfrac{1}{2} m^{2} v^{2}\)

A vertical \(\mathrm{U}\)-tube of uniform inner cross-section contains mercury in both its arms. A glycerin (density\(=1.3\) g/cm3) column of length \(10\) cm is introduced into one of its arms. Oil of density \(0.8\) g/cm is poured into the other arm until the upper surfaces of the oil and glycerin are at the same horizontal level. The length of the oil column is:
(density of mercury \(=13.6\) g/cm3)
                       
1. \(10.4\) cm
2. \(8.2\) cm
3. \(7.2\) cm
