Please explain the concept with the specific weight and hight 

### Diagram Description:

The diagram illustrates a system involving fluid dynamics within connected compartments.

1. **Components:**
   - **A**: Represents a container filled with fluid.
   - **B' and B**: Points in the U-shaped tube connected to container A.
   - **B'' and A'**: Points at the bottom of the U-shaped tube.
   - **C**: Reference point in the open section of the tube.
   - **O**: The top of the open section exposed to atmospheric pressure (\(p_{atm}\)).
   - **V**: A valve controlling fluid flow.
   - **\(s_F\)**: A marker inside the container.

2. **Measurements:**
   - **\(h_1\)**: The vertical distance from point C to the bottom of the tube.
   - **\(h_2\)**: The vertical distance from point O (open to atmosphere) to point C.
   - **\(s_M\)**: A point on the bottom curve of the U-tube.

3. **Fluid Dynamics:**
   - The fluid level within the U-tube varies between points B and C.
   - Fluid within the tube is exposed to different pressures at points O and C.
   - The presence of valve V indicates control over fluid or gas flow at the top of the container.

### Educational Notes:

- This setup is often used to demonstrate principles of fluid statics and dynamics, including pressure differences, fluid flow control using valves, and atmospheric pressure effects.
- **Height differences (\(h_1\) and \(h_2\))**: Key for calculating pressure differences.
- The diagram is useful for understanding Pascal's Law and Bernoulli's Equation in practical scenarios.
