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).

A cylindrical vessel filled with water upto height of $H$ stands on a horizontal plane. The side wall of the vessel has a plugged circular hole touching the bottom. The coefficient of friction between the bottom of vessel and plane is $\mu$ and total mass of water plus vessel is $M$. What should be minimum diameter of hole so that the vessel begins to move on the floor if plug is removed (here density of water is $\rho$ )

The weight of an empty balloon on a spring balance is $w_1$. The weight becomes $w_2$ when the balloon is filled with air. Let the weight of the air itself be $w$ .Neglect the thickness of the balloon when it is filled with air. Also neglect the difference in the densities of air inside $\&$ outside the balloon. Then :

In Guericke's experiment to show the effect of atmospheric pressure, two copper hemispheres were tightly fitted to each other to form a hollow sphere and the air from the sphere was pumped out to create vacuum inside. If the radius of each hemisphere is $R$ and the atmospheric pressure is $p$, then the minimum force required (when the two hemispheres are pulled apart by the same force) to separate the hemispheres is
