The buoyant force on a body immersed in a fluid depends on MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The buoyant force on a body immersed in a fluid depends on
A. Density of body
B. Volume of body
C. Acceleration due to gravity
D. Both B and C
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Buoyant force = weight of displaced fluid = (volume of body submerged) × density_fluid × g. Depends on volume displaced and g. Not density of body.

Question #2
Photoelectric emission requires:
A. High intensity
B. Long wavelength
C. Any frequency with high intensity
D. Frequency > threshold

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Emission requires photon energy hν ≥ work function φ ⇒ ν ≥ ν₀. Intensity affects electron count, not emission possibility. Memory aid: 'Photoelectric: frequency threshold (quantum); intensity affects current'. Quantum physics concept frequently tested in competitive exams.

Question #3
The number of significant figures in 0.0034060 is
A. 4
B. 5
C. 7
D. 6

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Leading zeros (before first non-zero digit) are not significant. So 0.0034060: the first non-zero is 3, then 4,0,6 are significant, and the trailing zero after decimal is significant. Thus significant digits are 3,4,0,6,0 — 5 digits. Note: The last zero indicates precision. Answer is 5.
