The pressure at the sea surface is .......... $P_{a}$.

$A$ liquid $X$ of density $3.36 \ g/cm^3$ is poured into a $U$-tube, which contains $Hg$. Another liquid $Y$ is poured into the left arm with a height of $8 \ cm$. The upper levels of $X$ and $Y$ are at the same height. What is the density of $Y$ in $g/cc$?

The Sun is a hot plasma (ionized matter) with its inner core at a temperature exceeding $10^{7} \; K$,and its outer surface at a temperature of about $6000 \; K$. At these high temperatures,no substance remains in a solid or liquid phase. In what range do you expect the mass density of the Sun to be,in the range of densities of solids and liquids or gases? Check if your guess is correct from the following data: mass of the Sun $= 2.0 \times 10^{30} \; kg$,radius of the Sun $= 7.0 \times 10^{8} \; m$.

$A$ person of height $1.65 \,m$ is standing upright. The additional external force required by a blood vessel of length $1 \,cm$, diameter $1 \,mm$ at the feet to balance the pressure compared to a similar blood vessel in the head is (Density of blood $= 1.1 \times 10^3 \,kg \,m^{-3}$, $g = 10 \,ms^{-2}$) (in $\,N$)
