$P _{ atm }= P cm$ of water
What we can conclude from this process is that the volume is changing in the air bubble but the temperature remains unchanged.
For isothermal process,
$P _{1} V _{1}= P _{2} V _{2}$
Let the height of water surface be $x$.
$(P d g+x d g)\left(\frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}\right)=P d g\left[\frac{4}{3} \pi(2 r)^{3}\right]$
$(P+x) r^{3}=P\left(8 r^{3}\right)$
$x=8 P-P$
$\Rightarrow x=7 P$



$(A)$ the force causing the molecules to move across the tube is $\Delta n k_B T S$
$(B)$ force balance implies $n_1 \beta v \ell=\Delta n k_B T$
$(C)$ total number of molecules going across the tube per sec is $\left(\frac{\Delta n}{\ell}\right)\left(\frac{k_B T}{\beta}\right) S$
$(D)$ rate of molecules getting transferred through the tube does not change with time
