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 $h$ ?

$A$ tube is bent into an $L$ shape and kept in a vertical plane. If these three liquids are kept in equilibrium by the piston of area $A$,the value of $\frac{F}{A}$ is:

In Guericke's experiment to show the effect of atmospheric pressure,two copper hemispheres were tightly fitted to each other to form a hollow sphere and the air from the sphere was pumped out to create a vacuum inside. If the radius of each hemisphere is $R$ and the atmospheric pressure is $p$,then the minimum force required (when the two hemispheres are pulled apart by the same force) to separate the hemispheres is
