$A$ vertical $U-$tube of uniform inner cross-section contains mercury in both sides of its arms. $A$ glycerin (density = $1.3 \text{ g/cm}^3$) column of length $10 \text{ cm}$ is introduced into one of its arms. Oil of density $0.8 \text{ g/cm}^3$ is poured into the other arm until the upper surfaces of the oil and glycerin are in the same horizontal level. Find the length of the oil column in $\text{cm}$. (Density of mercury = $13.6 \text{ g/cm}^3$)

$A$ table tennis ball has radius $(3 / 2) \times 10^{-2} \text{ m}$ and mass $(22 / 7) \times 10^{-3} \text{ kg}$. It is slowly pushed down into a swimming pool to a depth of $d = 0.7 \text{ m}$ 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: $\pi = 22 / 7, g = 10 \text{ ms}^{-2}$,density of water $= 1 \times 10^3 \text{ kg m}^{-3}$,viscosity of water $= 1 \times 10^{-3} \text{ Pa-s}$.]
$(A)$ The work done in pushing the ball to the depth $d$ is $0.077 \text{ J}$.
$(B)$ If we neglect the viscous force in water,then the speed $v = 7 \text{ m/s}$.
$(C)$ If we neglect the viscous force in water,then the height $H = 1.4 \text{ m}$.
$(D)$ The ratio of the magnitudes of the net force excluding the viscous force to the maximum viscous force in water is $500 / 9$.

Two cylindrical vessels of equal cross-sectional area $16\,cm^{2}$ contain water up to heights $100\,cm$ and $150\,cm$ respectively. The vessels are interconnected so that the water levels in them become equal. The work done by the force of gravity during the process is $......J$. [Take density of water $= 10^{3}\,kg/m^{3}$ and $g = 10\,m/s^{2}$]

The vessel shown in the figure has two sections. The lower part is a rectangular vessel with area of cross-section $A$ and height $h$. The upper part is a conical vessel of height $h$ with base area $A$ and top area $a$,and the walls of the vessel are inclined at an angle $30^o$ with the vertical. $A$ liquid of density $\rho$ fills both the sections up to a height $2h$.
