A solid sphere of radius $r$ is floating at the  interface of two immiscible liquids of densities $\rho_1$ and $\rho_2\,\, (\rho_2 > \rho_1),$ half of its volume lying in each. The height of the upper liquid column from the interface of the two liquids is $h.$ The force exerted on the sphere by the upper liquid is $($ atmospheric pressure $= p_0\,\,\&$ acceleration due to gravity is $g) $

$\mathrm{PA}-\mathrm{F}=\mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{B}}=\frac{2 \pi}{3} \mathrm{r}^{3} \rho_{1} \mathrm{g}$

$\left(\mathrm{P}_{0}+\rho_{1} \mathrm{gh}\right) \pi \mathrm{r}^{2}-\mathrm{F}$

$=\frac{2 \pi}{3} \mathrm{r}^{3} \rho_{1} \mathrm{g}$

    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).
