$A$ submarine experiences a pressure of $5.05 \times 10^6 \, Pa$ at a depth of $d_1$ in a sea. When it goes further to a depth of $d_2,$ it experiences a pressure of $8.08 \times 10^6 \, Pa.$ Then $d_2 - d_1$ is approximately ........ $m$ (density of water $= 10^3 \, kg/m^3$ and acceleration due to gravity $= 10 \, m/s^2$).

In a cylindrical container open to the atmosphere from the top,a liquid is filled up to a $10\, m$ depth. The density of the liquid varies with depth $h$ from the surface as $\rho(h) = 100 + 6h^2$,where $h$ is in meters and $\rho$ is in $kg/m^3$. The pressure at the bottom of the container will be: (Atmospheric pressure $P_0 = 10^5\, Pa$,$g = 10\, m/s^2$)
