Answer

$55cm$

Work Step by Step

We can find the required diameter as follows: $p_{\circ}+\frac{m_1g}{r_1^2\pi}=p_{\circ}+\frac{4m_2g}{r_2^2\pi}+\rho gh$ This can be rearranged as: $r_2^2=\frac{4m_2g}{\pi}\cdot\frac{1}{\frac{m_1g}{r_1^2\pi}-\rho gh}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $r_2^2=\frac{4(110)(9.8)}{\pi}.\frac{1}{\frac{(55)(9.8)}{(8)^2\pi}-(908)(9.8)(100cm)}=0.0766cm$ $\implies r_2=0.276cm$ $\implies d=2(0.276cm)=55cm$
