I did this by playing with the options. Putting α=0, options 2 and 4 can be eliminated. Now, if α=45°, then it means that d2=0, as COM of liquid d1 would then be at the lowest point. That leaves us with option 3 as the answer.

take the point of intersection of the liquids...let it be A..take another point at the same horizontal level(on other side of tube)..let it be B..
now PA=PB..(same horizontal level)
P0+d1gh1=P0+d2gh2
now h1=Rcosα-Rsinα
&h2=Rcosα+Rsinα(h1,h2 is found using the fact that both of them subtend a right angle at the centre..)
this gives...(c) as the answer..

Sir, is the tube accelerating towards the left?
Otherwise how can we get such a slanting surface?
- Soumyadeep Basu The liquids have different densities and the given position is actually the position for equilibrium when the tube is not accelerating.Upvote·0· Reply ·2014-04-12 21:57:48
