In the figure, chamber $A$ contains a gas, a movable chamber $B$ is placed on top of the gas and it contains $n$ metal balls. The weight of chamber $B$ and the balls is supported by the gas. Chamber $C$ is a vacuum. Let the gas be in equilibrium at pressure $P$. Let $P^{\prime}$ be the pressure if one of the balls is taken away. Find $(P-P^{\prime}) / P$.

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 $h$ ?
