  • A
    Pressure on the base area of vessels $A$ and $B$ is the same.
  • B
    Pressure on the base area of vessels $A$ and $B$ is not the same.
  • C
    Both vessels $A$ and $B$ weigh the same.
  • D
    Vessel $B$ weighs twice that of $A$.

During a blood transfusion,a needle is inserted into a vein where the gauge pressure is $2000\,Pa$. At what height must the blood container be placed so that blood may just enter the vein (in $,m$)? (Density of blood $= 1.06 \times 10^3\,kg/m^3$ and take $g = 9.8\,m/s^2$).
