$T=M g-$ Buoyant Force
$\Rightarrow T=\rho_M V g-\rho_L V g \quad\left(\rho_M=\frac{M}{V}\right)$
$=\left(\rho_M-\rho_L\right) V g$
$=(10-0.8) \times \frac{3}{10} \times 10$
$\Rightarrow T=9.2 \times 3=27.6 \,N$

Some liquid is filled in a cylindrical vessel of radius $R$. Let $ F_1 $ be the force applied by the liquid on the bottom of the cylinder. Now the same liquid is poured into a vessel of uniform square crss-section of side $R$. Let $F_2$ be the force applied by the liquid on the bottom of this new vessel. Then:
Water is flowing through a channel (lying in a vertical plane) as shown in the figure. Three sections $A, B$ and $C$ are shown. Sections $B$ and $C$ have equal area of cross section. If $P_A, P_B$ and $P_C$ are the pressures at $A, B$ and $C$ respectively then
A large drop of oil (density $0.8\,g / cm ^3$ and viscosity $\eta_0$) floats up through a column of another liquid (density $1.2\,g / cm ^3$ and viscosity $\eta_L$ ). Assuming that the two liquids do not mix, the velocity with which the oil drop rises will depend on.
A piston of cross-section area $100\, cm^2$ is used in a hydraulic press to exert a force of $107\, dynes$ on the water. The cross-sectional area of the other piston which supports an object having a mass $2000 \,kg$. is
If the terminal speed of a sphere of gold ( density $= 19.5 kg/m^3$) is $0.2\ m/s$ in a viscous liquid (density $= 1.5\ kg/m^3$ ), find the terminal speed (in $m/s$) of a sphere of silver (density $= 10.5\ kg/m^3$) of the same size in the same liquid ...... $m/s$
An aeroplane of mass $3 \times 10^4\,kg$ and total wing area of $120\,m^2$ is in a level flight at some height. The difference in pressure between the upper and lower surfaces of its wings in kilopascals is........... $kPa$ $(g=10\,m/s^2)$
The volume of an air bubble is doubled as it rises from the bottom of lake to its surface. The atmospheric pressure is $75 \,cm$ of mercury. The ratio of density of mercury to that of lake water is $\frac{40}{3}$. The depth of the lake in metre is .........
