Consider an element of the liquid of height $dh$ and area of cross$-$section $\mathrm{A}$ at a depth $\mathrm{h}$ below the surface of the liquid. Let $p$ and $p$ $+$ $\mathrm{dp}$ be the liquid pressures at the upper and lower surfaces of the element. Mass of the liquid in the element, $\mathrm{dm}=$ $Adh$$\rho$

Net upward force on the element

$=[(p+d p) A-p A]-g d m$

Or $\mathrm{A} \mathrm{dp}-\mathrm{g} \mathrm{dm}=\mathrm{a} \mathrm{dm}$

(As the element moves up with an acceleration a)

Or $\mathrm{A} \mathrm{dp}=(\mathrm{g}+\mathrm{a}) \mathrm{dm}=(\mathrm{g}+\mathrm{a})$ $Adh\rho.$

$\int \mathrm{d} \mathrm{p}=\int \rho(\mathrm{g}+\mathrm{a}) \mathrm{dh}$ Or $\mathrm{p}=\rho(\mathrm{g}+\mathrm{a}) \mathrm{h}$

    A drinking straw is dipped in a pan of water to depth d from the surface (see figure below). Now water is sucked into it up to an initial height $h_0$ and then left to oscillate. As a result, its height $y$ from the surface of the water varies periodically. Ignoring damping, the equation for $y$ is ( $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity):
