$A$ solid sphere of radius $r$ is floating at the interface of two immiscible liquids of densities $\rho_1$ and $\rho_2$ $(\rho_2 > \rho_1)$,with 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 $= p_0$ and acceleration due to gravity is $g$).

  • A
    $p_0\pi r^2 + (h - 2/3r)\pi r^2\rho_1g$
  • B
    $(h - 2/3r)\pi r^2\rho_1g$
  • C
    $2/3r\pi r^2\rho_1g$
  • D
    $p_0\pi r^2$
