A body of volume 100 cm³ and density 0.8 g/cm³ floats in water. Volume submerged is MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A body of volume 100 cm³ and density 0.8 g/cm³ floats in water. Volume submerged is
A. 80 cm³
B. 100 cm³
C. 50 cm³
D. 20 cm³
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Weight = buoyancy => ρ_obj V_total g = ρ_water V_sub g => 0.8×100 = 1×V_sub => V_sub = 80 cm³.

Question #1 Report Error
Transistor current gain β = I_C/I_B. Typical value range:
A. 1000-5000
B. 0.1-1
C. 20-200
D. 1-10

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
BJT common-emitter current gain β typically 20-200. Small base current controls larger collector current. Memory aid: 'β = collector/base current ratio; value 20-200 for standard transistors'. Electronics parameter frequently tested in competitive exams.

If the percentage error in measuring the radius of a sphere is 2%, what will be the percentage error in the calculation of its volume?
A. 4%
B. 8%
C. 2%
D. 6%

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
The volume of a sphere is given by V = (4/3)πr³. The formula for relative error in volume is (ΔV/V) = 3 × (Δr/r). Since the percentage error in radius (Δr/r × 100) is 2%, the percentage error in volume will be 3 × 2% = 6%. Constants like 4/3 and π do not contribute to the error.

Which law explains the recoil of a gun when a bullet is fired?
A. Newton's third law
B. Law of conservation of energy
C. Newton's second law
D. Newton's first law

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Recoil is due to action-reaction pair: gun exerts forward force on bullet, bullet exerts backward force on gun. Newton's third law states for every action there is equal and opposite reaction. Conservation of momentum also explains recoil, but the immediate law is third law. Gun recoil velocity is calculated using conservation of momentum derived from third law.
