Q.
A thin walled hemispherical shell of mass $m$ and radius $R$ is pressed against a smooth vertical wall. Through a very small aperture at its top, water of density $\rho$ is filled in it completely. Minimum magnitude of force is to be applied to the shell for liquid not to escape from it. The weight of hemispherical shell is $m g$ and total mass of water is $M=\frac{2}{3} \pi R^{3} \rho \cdot$ The net external force is $M g \sqrt{\frac{\alpha}{\beta}+\left(1+\frac{m}{M}\right)^{2}}$ Find $(\alpha+\beta)$.
