(N/A) To describe the state and behavior of a fluid,the primary physical quantities required are:
$1$. Pressure $(P)$: The force exerted by the fluid per unit area.
$2$. Density $(\rho)$: The mass per unit volume of the fluid.
$3$. Velocity $(v)$: The speed and direction of fluid flow (relevant for fluid dynamics).

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 $h$ ?

An open-ended $U$-tube of uniform cross-sectional area contains water (density $1.0 \text{ g/cm}^3$) standing initially $20 \text{ cm}$ from the bottom in each arm. An immiscible liquid of density $4.0 \text{ g/cm}^3$ is added to one arm until a layer $5 \text{ cm}$ high forms,as shown in the figure. What is the ratio $h_2/h_1$ of the heights of the liquid in the two arms?

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

Pressure at the bottom of a tank of water is $3P$,where $P$ is atmospheric pressure. If water is drawn out till the level of water is lowered by one-fifth,then the pressure at the bottom of the tank is

In which layer of the atmosphere is water vapour present?
