$A$ 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:

  • A
    $\frac{\frac{4}{3}\pi R^3 \rho_w g - Mg}{\sqrt{2}}$
  • B
    $\frac{2}{3}\pi R^3 \rho_w g - Mg$
  • C
    $\frac{\frac{4}{3}\pi R^3 \rho_w g - Mg}{2}$
  • D
    $\frac{4}{3}\pi R^3 \rho_w g + Mg$

$A$ hot air balloon is carrying some passengers and a few sandbags of mass $1 kg$ each,so that its total mass is $480 kg$. Its effective volume providing buoyancy is $V$. The balloon is floating at an equilibrium height of $100 m$. When $N$ number of sandbags are thrown out,the balloon rises to a new equilibrium height of $150 m$ with its volume $V$ remaining unchanged. If the variation of the density of air with height $h$ from the ground is $\rho(h) = \rho_0 e^{-\frac{h}{h_0}}$,where $\rho_0 = 1.25 kg m^{-3}$ and $h_0 = 6000 m$,the value of $N$ is:
