  • A
    $\frac{3 P}{8}$
  • B
    $\frac{7 P}{6}$
  • C
    $\frac{11 P}{5}$
  • D

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

Consider the wall of a dam to be straight with height $H$ and length $L$. It holds a lake of water of height $h$ $(h < H)$ on one side. Let the density of water be $\rho_w$. Denote the torque about the axis along the bottom length of the wall by $\tau_1$. Denote also a similar torque due to the water up to height $h/2$ and wall length $L/2$ by $\tau_2$. Then $\tau_1 / \tau_2$ (ignore atmospheric pressure) is

Show that the pressure produced due to a fluid column depends on the height of the fluid column and the density of the fluid.
