$A$ tank with a square base of area $1.0 \; m^{2}$ is divided by a vertical partition in the middle. The bottom of the partition has a small hinged door of area $20 \; cm^{2}$. The tank is filled with water in one compartment and an acid (of relative density $1.7$) in the other,both to a height of $4.0 \; m$. Compute the force (in $N$) necessary to keep the door closed.

When a soap bubble of radius $0.2 \ mm$ is charged,it experiences an outward electrostatic pressure of magnitude $\frac{\sigma^2}{2 \varepsilon_0}$,where $\sigma = 20 \ \mu C \ m^{-2}$ is the surface charge density. If the excess pressure inside the soap bubble due to the surface tension is same as this electrostatic pressure,then the surface tension of the soap solution is (Given: $\varepsilon_0 = 8.85 \times 10^{-12} \ C^2 \ N^{-1} \ m^{-2}$)

If the heart pushes $1 \ cc$ of blood in one second under pressure $20000 \ N/m^2$,the power of the heart is ....... $W$.

Two solid spheres $A$ and $B$ of equal volumes but of different densities $d_A$ and $d_B$ are connected by a string. They are fully immersed in a fluid of density $d_F$. They get arranged into an equilibrium state as shown in the figure with a tension in the string. The arrangement is possible only if:
$(A)$ $d_A < d_F$
$(B)$ $d_B > d_F$
$(C)$ $d_A + d_B = 2d_F$
$(D)$ $d_A > d_F$
