During a blood transfusion,a needle is inserted into a vein where the gauge pressure is $2000\,Pa$. At what height must the blood container be placed so that blood may just enter the vein (in $,m$)? (Density of blood $= 1.06 \times 10^3\,kg/m^3$ and take $g = 9.8\,m/s^2$).

$(a)$ Pressure decreases as one ascends the atmosphere. If the density of air is $\rho$,what is the change in pressure $dp$ over differential height $dh$?
$(b)$ Considering the pressure $P$ to be proportional to the density,find the pressure $P$ at a height $h$ if the pressure on the surface of the earth is $P_{0}$.
$(c)$ If $P_{0} = 1.03 \times 10^5 \text{ N/m}^2$,$\rho_0 = 1.29 \text{ kg/m}^3$,and $g = 9.8 \text{ m/s}^2$,at what height will the pressure drop to $\frac{1}{10}$ of the value at the surface of the earth?
