I think B is the most correct, because logically it's harder to bend a stiffer spring than it is to bend a softer one. Also, I don't think length comes into play. So B.
Answer:
Check the explanation
Explanation:
1) Pressure acting on the plug = Patm + P
Pressure = Patm + rho*g*h (Here h = D2)
Pressure = 101325 + 1000*9.8*7
Pressure = 169925 Pa
so, Force = PA
Force = 169925*pi*0.0152
Force = 120.1 N
