Here are some MCQs on Floatation
1. When an object floats in a fluid, it displaces a volume of fluid equal to its own weight. This statement is known as:
a) Archimedes’ principle
b) Pascal’s law
c) Bernoulli’s principle
d) Newton’s first law
2. If the weight of an object is less than the buoyant force acting on it, the object will:
a) Sink
b) Float
c) Remain suspended in the fluid
d) None of the above
3. The buoyant force acting on an object immersed in a fluid depends on:
a) The mass of the object
b) The volume of the object
c) The density of the fluid
d) All of the above
4. A solid object will float in a fluid if its density is:
a) Greater than the density of the fluid
b) Less than the density of the fluid
c) Equal to the density of the fluid
d) None of the above
5. The buoyant force acting on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. This is known as:
a) Pascal’s law
b) Bernoulli’s principle
c) Newton’s second law
d) Archimedes’ principle
