    An air bubble of volume $1\,cm ^3$ rises from the bottom of a lake $40\,m$ deep to the surface at a temperature of $12^{\circ}\,C$. The atmospheric pressure is $1 \times 10^5 Pa$, the density of water is $1000\,kg / m ^3$ and $g =10\,m / s ^2$. There is no difference of the temperature of water at the depth of $40\,m$ and on the surface. The volume of air bubble when it reaches the surface will be $..........\,cm^{3}$

    Karman line is a theoretical construct that separates the earth's atmosphere from outer space. It is defined to be the height at which the lift on an aircraft flying at the speed of a polar satellite $(8 \,km / s )$ is equal to its weight. Taking a fighter aircraft of wing area $30 \,m ^2$, and mass $7500 \,kg$, the height of the Karman line above the ground will be in the range .............. $km$ (assume the density of air at height $h$ above ground to be $\rho( h )=1.2 e ^{\frac{ h }{10}} \,kg / m ^3$ where $h$ is in $km$ and the lift force to be $\frac{1}{2} \rho v^2 A$, where $v$ is the speed of the aircraft and $A$ its wing area).
