Net upward force acting on the body $F=\sigma V g-\rho V g$

$\Rightarrow m a=\sigma V g-\rho V g$

$\Rightarrow(\rho V) a=V g(\sigma-\rho)$

$\Rightarrow a=g\left(\frac{\sigma}{\rho}-1\right)$

Velocity $v$ after height $h=\sqrt{2 g\left(\frac{\sigma}{\rho}-1\right) h}$

Conserving mechanical energy at max height h'above surface,

$m g h^{\prime}=\frac{1}{2} m\left(2 g\left(\frac{\sigma}{\rho}-1\right) h\right)$

$\Rightarrow h^{\prime}=\left(\frac{\sigma}{\rho}-1\right) h$

    Suppose you have taken a dilute solution of oleic acid in such a way that its concentration becomes $0.01 \,cm ^{3}$ of oleic acid per $cm ^{3}$ of the solution. Then you make a thin film of this solution (monomolecular thickness) of area $4\, cm ^{2}$ by considering $100$ spherical drops of radius $\left(\frac{3}{40 \pi}\right)^{\frac{1}{3}} \times 10^{-3}\, cm .$ Then the thickness of oleic acid layer will be $x \times 10^{-14} \,m$. Where $x$ is ...... .

    A train with cross-sectional area $S _{ t }$ is moving with speed $v_t$ inside a long tunnel of cross-sectional area $S _0\left( S _0=4 S _{ t }\right)$. Assume that almost all the air (density $\rho$ ) in front of the train flows back between its sides and the walls of the tunnel. Also, the air flow with respect to the train is steady and laminar. Take the ambient pressure and that inside the train to be $p _0$. If the pressure in the region between the sides of the train and the tunnel walls is $p$, then $p _0- p =\frac{7}{2 N } \rho v_{ t }^2$. The value of $N$ is. . . . .
