A piece of ice of density 0.9 g/cm³ floats in water. Fraction of volume above water is
A. 0.9
B. 0.5
C. 0.2
D. 0.1
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Submerged fraction = ρ_ice/ρ_water = 0.9, above = 0.1 (10%).

Question #1
The dimensional formula of coefficient of viscosity is
A. [ML⁻²T]
B. [MLT⁻¹]
C. [M⁰LT⁻¹]
D. [ML⁻¹T⁻¹]

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Viscosity η = Force/(Area × velocity gradient). Force [MLT⁻²], area [L²], velocity gradient [T⁻¹]. So η = [MLT⁻²]/([L²][T⁻¹]) = [ML⁻¹T⁻¹]. Often asked.

Question #3
A body at 100°C is placed in contact with a body at 0°C. Heat flow stops when
A. Thermal equilibrium is reached
B. Both reach 100°C
C. Heat content becomes equal
D. Both reach 0°C

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Heat flows until temperatures equal, i.e., thermal equilibrium. Not necessarily 50°C unless heat capacities equal.
