JEE MAIN - Physics (2025 - 28th January Evening Shift - No. 18)

A 400 g solid cube having an edge of length 10 cm floats in water. How much volume of the cube is outside the water?

(Given: density of water = 1000 kg m-3)

400 cm3
600 cm3
1400 cm3
4000 cm3

Explanation

$$\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{Mg}=\mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{B}} \Rightarrow\left(400 \times 10^{-3}\right)=10^3 \times \mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{d}} \\ & \mathrm{~V}_{\mathrm{d}}=400 \times 10^{-6} \mathrm{~m}^3 \\ & (\text { Vol. })_{\text {outside }}=\left(10 \times 10^{-2}\right)^3-400 \times 10^{-6} \\ & =600 \times 10^{-6} \mathrm{~m}^2=600 \mathrm{~cm}^3 \end{aligned}$$
