$A$ 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

$A$ hollow sphere of mass $M$ and radius $R$ is immersed in a tank of water (density $\rho_w$). The sphere would float if it were set free. The sphere is tied to the bottom of the tank by two wires which make an angle of $45^{\circ}$ with the horizontal as shown in the figure. The tension $T_1$ in each wire is:
