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