Answer

$45.24\;cm^3$

Work Step by Step

The pressure of the liquid at the interface of the liquid and water is $p_l=h_l\rho_lg$ The pressure of the water in other arm of the U-tube at the same level will be $p_w=h_w\rho_wg$ The liquids in the U-tube are in static equilibrium. Therefore, $p_l=p_w$ or, $h_l\rho_lg=h_w\rho_wg$ or, $h_w=\frac{h_l\rho_l}{\rho_w}$ Substituting the given values $h_w=\frac{8\times0.80}{1}\;cm$ or, $h_w=6.40\;cm$ Therefore the height of the water column that flows out the open end of the right arm is $6.40\;cm$ Therefore the volume of the water that flows out the open end of the right arm is $=6.40\times \pi\times1.5^2\;cm^3=45.24\;cm^3$
