The heart of a man pumps \(5~\text{L}\) of blood through the arteries per minute at a pressure of \(150~\text{mm}\) of mercury. If the density of mercury is \(13.6\times10^{3}~\text{kg/m}^{3}\) and \(g = 10~\text{m/s}^2,\) then the power of the heart in watts is:

1. \(1.70\) 2. \(2.35\)
3. \(3.0\) 4. \(1.50\)

A \(U\text-\)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 level of \(10~\text{mm}\) above the water level on the other side. Meanwhile, the water rises by \(65~\text{mm}\) from its original level (see diagram). The density of the oil is: 
                
1. \(425~\text{kg m}^{-3}\)
2. \(800~\text{kg m}^{-3}\)
3. \(928~\text{kg m}^{-3}\)
4. \(650~\text{kg m}^{-3}\)

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. \(1000~\text{kg/m}^{3}\)
