(D) The total length of the water column is $l_w = \frac{V}{A} = \frac{60 \ cm^3}{1 \ cm^2} = 60 \ cm$.When the liquid of density $\rho_l = 4 \ g/cc$ is poured,it pushes the water out of the horizontal arm.Let the height of the liquid column be $h$. The pressure at the interface of the liquid and water in the $U$-tube must be equal at the same horizontal level.The pressure exerted by the liquid column of height $h$ must balance the pressure exerted by the remaining water column of height $H = l_w - l_{horizontal} = 60 \ cm - 20 \ cm = 40 \ cm$.Using the hydrostatic pressure balance equation: $\rho_l \cdot g \cdot h = \rho_w \cdot g \cdot H$.Given $\rho_l = 4 \ g/cc$,$\rho_w = 1 \ g/cc$,and $H = 40 \ cm$:$4 \cdot h = 1 \cdot 40 \Rightarrow h = 10 \ cm$.The total length of the liquid column in the tube is $l_l = h + l_{horizontal} = 10 \ cm + 20 \ cm = 35 \ cm$.The volume of the liquid required is $V_L = l_l \cdot A = 35 \ cm \cdot 1 \ cm^2 = 35 \ cc$.

Two points $A$ and $B$ are at the same depth in a liquid at rest. Then the pressure on them $P_A$ ........... $P_B$.

The pressure at half the depth of a lake is equal to two-third pressure at the bottom of the lake. So the depth '$h$' of the lake is ($\rho$ = density of water in the lake, $g$ = acceleration due to gravity, $P_0$ = atmospheric pressure).

$A$ tank $5 \,m$ high is half filled with water and then is filled to the top with oil of density $0.85 \,g/cm^3$. The pressure at the bottom of the tank,due to these liquids is ........ $g/cm^2$.
