$T=M g-$ Buoyant Force

$\Rightarrow T=\rho_M V g-\rho_L V g \quad\left(\rho_M=\frac{M}{V}\right)$

$=\left(\rho_M-\rho_L\right) V g$

$=(10-0.8) \times \frac{3}{10} \times 10$

$\Rightarrow T=9.2 \times 3=27.6 \,N$

    The velocity of a small ball of mass $0.3\,g$ and density $8\,g / cc$ when dropped in a container filled with glycerine becomes constant after some time. If the density of glycerine is $1.3\,g / cc$, then the value of viscous force acting on the ball will be $x \times 10^{-4}\,N$, the value of $x$ is [use $g=10\,m / s ^{2}$ ]

    $Assertion :$ The pressure of water reduces when it flows from a narrow pipe to a wider pipe.
    $Reason :$ Since for wider pipe area is large, so flow of speed is small and pressure also reduces proportionately.

    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 giving the balloon its 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 close to $150 m$ 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. . . . .
