    A table tennis ball has radius $(3 / 2) \times 10^{-2} m$ and mass $(22 / 7) \times 10^{-3} kg$. It is slowly pushed down into a swimming pool to a depth of $d=0.7 m$ below the water surface and then released from rest. It emerges from the water surface at speed $v$, without getting wet, and rises up to a height $H$. Which of the following option(s) is (are) correct?

    [Given: $\pi=22 / 7, g=10 ms ^{-2}$, density of water $=1 \times 10^3 kg m ^{-3}$, viscosity of water $=1 \times 10^{-3} Pa$-s.]

    $(A)$ The work done in pushing the ball to the depth $d$ is $0.077 J$.

    $(B)$ If we neglect the viscous force in water, then the speed $v=7 m / s$.

    $(C)$ If we neglect the viscous force in water, then the height $H=1.4 m$.

    $(D)$ The ratio of the magnitudes of the net force excluding the viscous force to the maximum viscous force in water is $500 / 9$.

    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).
