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 is

Consider the equilibrium of water,

Weight of water(downwards) + Force due to table(upwards) + Force due to side walls(downwards) $=0$

Weight of water $=\left(\frac{1}{3} \pi R^{2} h\right) \rho g$

Force due to table on water $=$ Pressure at the bottom $\times$ Area

$=\rho g h \times \pi R^{2}$

Total upward force exerted by water on the cone $=\left(\rho g h \pi R^{2}\right)-\left(\frac{1}{3} \pi R^{2} h \rho g\right)$

$=\left(\frac{2}{3}\right) \pi R^{2} h \rho g$

    A wide bottom cylindrical massless plastic container of height $9 \,cm$ has $40$ identical coins inside it and is floating on water with $3 \,cm$ inside the water. If we start putting more of such coins on its lid, it is observed that after $N$ coins are put, its equilibrium changes from stable to unstable. Equilibrium in floating is stable if the geometric centre of the submerged portion is above the centre of the mass of the object). The value of $N$ is closed to

    A pan balance has a container of water with an overflow spout on the right-hand pan as shown. It is full of water right up to the overflow spout. A container on the left-hand pan is positioned to catch any water that overflows. The entire apparatus is adjusted so that it’s balanced. A brass weight on the end of a string is then lowered into the water, but not allowed to rest on the bottom of the container. What happens next ?
