In the arrangement shown, both the vessels $A$ and $B$ are identical, but the amount of water in $B$ is double that in $A$. The vessels are closed by identical leak-proof pistons at the same height. The pistons are connected to the ends of a lever arm. There is no friction between the pistons and the container walls. The system is in equilibrium in the situation shown. Now, the valve in the horizontal tube connecting both the vessels is opened. In which direction will the water flow through the tube?

$A$ nurse measures the blood pressure of a seated patient to be $190 \,mm$ of $Hg$.

When an air bubble of radius $r$ rises from the bottom to the surface of a lake,its radius becomes $\frac{5r}{4}$. If the atmospheric pressure is equal to the pressure exerted by a $10 \ m$ height of water column,the temperature is constant,and surface tension is neglected,what is the depth of the lake (in $m$)?

What is atmospheric pressure?

$A$ spherical marble of radius $1 \, cm$ is stuck in a circular hole of radius slightly smaller than its own radius (for calculation purpose,both can be taken same) at the bottom of a bucket filled with water up to a height of $10 \, cm$. If the mass of the marble is $20 \, g$,then the net force on the marble due to water is close to:
