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