A pan balance has a container of water with an overflow spout on the right-hand pan as shown. It is full of water right up to the overflow spout. A container on the left-hand pan is positioned to catch any water that overflows. The entire apparatus is adjusted so that it’s balanced. A brass weight on the end of a string is then lowered into the water, but not allowed to rest on the bottom of the container. What happens next ?

From the figure it is clear that the level of water in the right pan remains the same thus pressure $(\&force)$ at the bottom of right vessel is constant but that on the left pan increases thus overflows $\&$ the left side of the pan tips down

    In a cylindrical container open to the atmosphere from the top a liquid is filled upto $10\,\, m$ depth. Density of the liquid varies with depth from the surface as $\rho (h) = 100 + 6h^2$ where $h$ is in meter and $\rho$ is in $kg/m^3.$ The pressure at the bottom of the container will be : $($ atmosphere pressure $= 10^5\,\, Pa, \,g = 10\, m/sec^2)$
