$A$ hemispherical portion of radius $R$ is removed from the bottom of a cylinder of radius $R$. The volume of the remaining cylinder is $V$ and its mass is $M$. It is suspended by a string in a liquid of density $\rho$ where it stays vertical. The upper surface of the cylinder is at a depth $h$ below the liquid surface. The force on the bottom of the liquid is

  • A
    $Mg$
  • B
    $Mg - V \rho g$
  • C
    $Mg + \pi R^2 h \rho g$
  • D
    $\rho g (V + \pi R^2 h)$
