Explanation:

Given that the difference h between the two liquid levels is 2.0 cm. The density of the liquid is 800 kg /m3.

Calculate the difference between the pressure of the gas and atmospheric

pressure.

The pressure of the gas can be calculated by using the formula

Pressure = density × acceleration due to gravity × height

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

Pressure = 800 × 2/100 × 9.8

Note that the height is converted to metre.

Pressure = 156.8 Pascal

pressure difference = 101358 - 156.8

Pressure difference = 101201.2 Pascal

here we know that ball will drop down by total distance 3.2 m

so here we know that

now using kinematics

now in the same time it will cover horizontal distance of 0.75 m

so speed of the ball will be

when two balls of the different masses are dropped from equal height, they reach the ground at the same time .this is because they experience the same acceleration.

the acceleration is independent of mass.

thus when they are dropped they will always maintain the same velocity and travel the same distance (neglect air resistance of course) at the same time.
