q18 nov 2005.?
since the pressures are equal then P1=P2
P1 for X is equal to 800*9.8*h1
P2 For Y is equal to 1200*9.8*h2
if you make them equal to each other (since pressure is equal, cause thats what they are asking for)
then....7840h1=11760h2
re-arrange to give h2/h1=7840/11760, that ratio gives 2/3
then you check which one of the choices gives a ratio of 2/3 when you divide the length of Y OVER X because we used h2/h1
