A block of mass 20 g sits at rest on a plate that is at the top of the fluid on one side of a U-tube as shown in Figure P10.38. The U-tube contains two different fluids with densities ρ₁= 1000 kg/m³and ρ₂= 600 kg/m³and has a cross-sectional area of A = 5.0 ?? 10^-4m². If the surfaces are offset by an amount h as shown,?

(a) Which side of the U-tube contains the fluid with the greater density??

(b) Find h. (Assume h is positive.)
