At shallow depth $h$,the pressure in the ocean is simply given by $P = P_0 + \rho gh$,in which $\rho$ is the density of water and $P_0$ is the air pressure. As we go deeper,the high pressure causes the water to compress and become denser. Which of the following sketches illustrates the correct dependence of the pressure on the depth $h$ ?

$A$ tank $5 \,m$ high is half filled with water and then is filled to the top with oil of density $0.85 \,g/cm^3$. The pressure at the bottom of the tank,due to these liquids is ........ $g/cm^2$.

Which of the following quantities is expressed as force per unit area?

$A$ liquid $X$ of density $3.36 \, g/cm^3$ is poured into a $U$-tube containing $Hg$ up to a height of $10 \, cm$. Another liquid $Y$ is poured into the left arm to a height of $8 \, cm$. The upper levels of $X$ and $Y$ are at the same height. Find the density of liquid $Y$ in $g/cm^3$. (Density of $Hg = 13.6 \times 10^3 \, kg/m^3$)
