A piece of ice is floating in a glass beaker containing water. When all the ice melts, the level of water in the beaker will: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A piece of ice is floating in a glass beaker containing water. When all the ice melts, the level of water in the beaker will:
A. Remain the same
B. Fall
C. First rise, then fall
D. Rise
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
According to Archimedes' principle, the floating ice displaces a volume of water equal to its own weight. When the ice melts, it transforms into a volume of water that is exactly equal to the volume of water it displaced while floating. Therefore, the water level remains unchanged.

Question #1
1 joule is equal to how many ergs?
A. 10⁷
B. 10⁸
C. 10⁵
D. 10⁶

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
1 J = 1 kg m²/s². In CGS, 1 kg = 10³ g, 1 m = 10² cm => 1 J = (10³ g) × (10² cm)² / s² = 10⁷ g cm²/s² = 10⁷ erg. Key conversion.

Question #3
A car accelerates uniformly from rest to a speed of 72 km/h in 10 seconds. What is the distance covered during this time?
A. 200 m
B. 400 m
C. 720 m
D. 100 m

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
First, convert speed to SI units: 72 km/h = 72 × (5/18) m/s = 20 m/s. Initial velocity (u) = 0, final velocity (v) = 20 m/s, time (t) = 10 s. Acceleration (a) = (v-u)/t = 20/10 = 2 m/s². Distance (s) = ut + (1/2)at² = 0 + 0.5 × 2 × 10² = 100 meters.
