During blood transfusion,the needle is inserted into a vein where the gauge pressure is $2000 \; Pa$. At what height (in $m$) must the blood container be placed so that blood may just enter the vein? (Density of whole blood,$\rho = 1.06 \times 10^{3} \; kg \; m^{-3}$,$g = 9.8 \; m \; s^{-2}$)

$(a)$ Pressure decreases as one ascends the atmosphere. If the density of air is $\rho$,what is the change in pressure $dp$ over differential height $dh$?
$(b)$ Considering the pressure $P$ to be proportional to the density,find the pressure $P$ at a height $h$ if the pressure on the surface of the earth is $P_{0}$.
