$A$ heavy hollow cone of radius $R$ and height $h$ is placed on a horizontal table surface,with its flat base on the table. The whole volume inside the cone is filled with water of density $\rho$. The circular rim of the cone's base has a watertight seal with the table's surface and the top apex of the cone has a small hole. Neglecting atmospheric pressure,find the total upward force exerted by water on the cone.

  • A
    $(2/3) \pi R^2 h \rho g$
  • B
    $(1/3) \pi R^2 h \rho g$
  • C
    $\pi R^2 h \rho g$
  • D
    None

$A$ machine is blowing spherical soap bubbles of different radii filled with helium gas. It is found that,if the bubbles have a radius smaller than $1 \, cm$,then they sink to the floor in still air. Larger bubbles float in the air. Assume that the thickness of the soap film in all bubbles is uniform and equal. Assume that the density of soap solution is same as that of water $\left(= 1000 \, kg \, m^{-3}\right)$. The density of helium inside the bubbles and air are $0.18 \, kg \, m^{-3}$ and $1.23 \, kg \, m^{-3}$,respectively. Then,the thickness of the soap film of the bubbles is .......... $\mu m$ (Note: $1 \, \mu m = 10^{-6} \, m$)
