An air bubble of radius $1 \ mm$ is at a depth of $8 \ cm$ below the free surface of a liquid column. If the surface tension and density of the liquid are $0.1 \ N \ m^{-1}$ and $2000 \ kg \ m^{-3}$ respectively,by what amount is the pressure inside the bubble greater than the atmospheric pressure (in $N \ m^{-2}$)? (Take $g = 10 \ m \ s^{-2}$)
