(N/A) Density changes with pressure for $compressible$ fluids,such as $gases$.
Reason: In $gases$,the molecules are far apart and have weak intermolecular forces. When pressure is applied,the volume of the gas decreases significantly because the molecules are pushed closer together. Since density $\rho = \frac{m}{V}$,a decrease in volume $V$ for a constant mass $m$ leads to an increase in density $\rho$. In contrast,$liquids$ are generally considered $incompressible$ because their molecules are already closely packed,resulting in negligible changes in density under normal pressure variations.

$A$ cylindrical vessel of base radius $R$ and height $H$ has a narrow neck of height $h$ and radius $r$ at one end (see figure). The vessel is filled with water (density $\rho_w$) and its neck is filled with immiscible oil (density $\rho_0$). Then,the pressure at

Consider a vessel filled with a liquid up to height $H$. The bottom of the vessel lies in the $X-Y$ plane passing through the origin. The density of the liquid varies with the $Z$-axis as $\rho(z) = \rho_0 \left[ 2 - \left( \frac{z}{H} \right)^2 \right]$. If $P_1$ and $P_2$ are the pressures at the bottom surface and top surface of the liquid respectively, the magnitude of $(P_1 - P_2)$ is:
