The temperature of boiling water in Fahrenheit scale is MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The temperature of boiling water in Fahrenheit scale is
A. 180°F
B. 100°F
C. 32°F
D. 212°F
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Boiling point 100°C = (9/5×100)+32 = 180+32 = 212°F. Freezing 0°C = 32°F. Body temp 98.4°F ≈ 37°C. Scale conversion.

Question #1
AC RMS value defined for equivalent:
A. Heating effect
B. Voltage
C. Magnetic field
D. Charge flow

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
I_rms defined so I_rms²R = average power, same heating as DC current. For sine wave: I_rms = I₀/√2. Memory tip: 'RMS: heating equivalence; use RMS for power calculations'. AC fundamentals frequently tested in competitive exams.

A. 4 N
B. 8 N
C. 2 N
D. 1 N

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Centripetal force = m v²/r = 1×4/0.5 = 8 N.

Question #3
A body is in equilibrium under three concurrent forces. If two forces are perpendicular, the third force must be:
A. Equal and opposite to vector sum of the two
B. Equal to sum of the two
C. Zero
D. Equal to vector sum of the two

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
For equilibrium, net force = 0. If forces F₁ and F₂ are perpendicular, their vector sum R = √(F₁² + F₂²). The third force F₃ must balance R, so F₃ = -R, i.e., equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the vector sum of F₁ and F₂. Memory aid: 'Equilibrium: vector sum of all forces = 0; third force closes the triangle'. This statics concept is frequently tested in competitive exams. Always use vector addition for force equilibrium; scalar sum is incorrect for non-collinear forces.
