$A$ spherical marble of radius $1 \, cm$ is stuck in a circular hole of radius slightly smaller than its own radius (for calculation purpose,both can be taken same) at the bottom of a bucket filled with water up to a height of $10 \, cm$. If the mass of the marble is $20 \, g$,then the net force on the marble due to water is close to:

$A$ cubical block of wood, of length $10 \,cm$, floats at the interface between oil of density $800 \,kg/m^3$ and water. The lower surface of the block is $1.5 \,cm$ below the interface. If the depth of water is $10 \,cm$ below the interface and oil is up to $10 \,cm$ above the interface, then the difference in pressure at the lower and the upper face of the wooden block is:
