Who gave the law of floatation? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Who gave the law of floatation?
A. Pascal
B. Bernoulli
C. Archimedes
D. Newton
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Archimedes' principle: buoyant force = weight of displaced fluid. Law of floatation: floating body displaces fluid equal to its own weight. Archimedes discovered it. Pascal gave pressure law.

Question #1
A man pushes a wall but fails to move it. He does
A. Positive work
B. Zero work
C. Maximum work
D. Negative work

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Work = force × displacement in direction of force. Displacement zero, so work zero. Physiology work is done internally, but physics work zero.

Question #2
The percentage error in measurement of a cube's side is 2%. Maximum percentage error in its volume is:
A. 4%
B. 8%
C. 2%
D. 6%

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Volume V = a³. For error propagation: % error in V = 3 × % error in a. Given 2% error in side, volume error = 3×2% = 6%. Power rule: if Q = xⁿ, %ΔQ = |n|×%Δx. Memory tip: Volume depends on cube of length ⇒ errors triple. Common in experimental error analysis questions.
