A body of weight 20 N is immersed in water, apparent loss in weight is 5 N. Buoyant force is MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A body of weight 20 N is immersed in water, apparent loss in weight is 5 N. Buoyant force is
A. 15 N
B. 5 N
C. 20 N
D. 25 N
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Apparent loss in weight = buoyant force = weight in air - weight in water = 5 N. Archimedes principle. Apparent weight = 20-5 = 15 N.

Question #1
Binding energy per nucleon peaks at:
A. Iron
B. Hydrogen
C. Helium
D. Uranium

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Maximum binding energy/nucleon ≈ 8.8 MeV at iron-56, making it most stable. Lighter nuclei release energy via fusion; heavier via fission. Memory tip: 'Iron peak: most stable nucleus; fusion before, fission after'. Nuclear physics concept frequently tested in competitive exams.

Geostationary satellite period:
A. 24 hours
B. 84 minutes
C. Variable
D. 12 hours

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Geostationary: orbit period = Earth's rotation period (24 h), equatorial plane, appears fixed. Orbital radius ≈ 42,000 km from Earth center. Memory tip: 'Geostationary: T=24h, equatorial, fixed position; communication satellites'. Orbital mechanics fact frequently tested in competitive exams.
