Pressure at point $A=P$ (Hydrostatic paradox) and $P+\rho_w g h=$ pressure at $A=p$

$\Rightarrow P=p-\rho_w g h$

So, $P < p$

    In an experiment to verify Stokes law, a small spherical ball of radius $r$ and density $\rho$ falls under gravity through a distance $h$ in air before entering a tank of water. If the terminal velocity of the ball inside water is same as its velocity just before entering the water surface, then the value of $h$ is proportional to :

    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 ?
