Object floats with 40% volume submerged. Density ratio (object/liquid) is: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Object floats with 40% volume submerged. Density ratio (object/liquid) is:
A. 2.5
B. 0.6
C. 1.4
D. 0.4
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Floatation: weight = buoyant force ⇒ ρ_obj·V·g = ρ_liq·V_sub·g ⇒ ρ_obj/ρ_liq = V_sub/V = 0.4. Fraction submerged equals density ratio. Memory tip: 'Submerged fraction = ρ_object/ρ_fluid'. Direct Archimedes' principle application frequently tested in buoyancy sections of competitive exams.

Question #1
The energy equivalent of 1 amu is approximately
A. 3.0 × 10⁸ J
B. 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ J
C. 931 MeV
D. 931 eV

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
1 amu = 1.6605 × 10⁻²⁷ kg, using E=mc² gives about 931.5 MeV. Used in nuclear binding energy calculations. Not eV, but MeV. Very large energy per nucleon.

Question #2
Which of the following has highest specific heat capacity?
A. Iron
B. Copper
C. Water
D. Aluminium

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Water has exceptionally high specific heat (4200 J/kg°C) due to hydrogen bonding. Used as coolant. Iron ~450, copper ~385, aluminium ~900. High specific heat moderates climate.

The diameter of an atom is approximately
A. 10⁻³ m
B. 10⁻¹⁰ m
C. 10⁻¹⁵ m
D. 10⁻⁶ m

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Atomic diameter ~ 1 Å = 10⁻¹⁰ m. Nucleus is 10⁻¹⁵ m (femtometre). Atomic size determined by electron cloud. 10⁻⁶ m is typical cell size. 10⁻³ m is millimetre.
