A cubic metre of water at $0^o$C is solidified into ice, density of ice is $0.96$ of water at $0^o$C. Which of the following deductions are true?
$1$. Water expands when solidified.
$2$. Ice will float in water at $0^o$C with half its volume above the surface.
$3$. Density of all liquids are higher than its density when solidified.

  1. $3$ only
  2. $2$ only
  3. $1$ only
  4. $1$ and $2$

C Correct answer
Explanation

When water freezes into ice, its density decreases, meaning its volume increases (it expands). This expansion is a unique property of water. Statement 1 is true. Statement 2 is false because ice floats with about 90% of its volume submerged, not 50%. Statement 3 is false as a general rule.

A public park, in the form of a square, has an area of $(100 \pm 0.2 )m^2 $ .The side of park is :

  1. $ (10 \pm 0.01 ) m $
  2. $ (10 \pm 0.1 ) m $
  3. $ (10 \pm 0.02 ) m $
  4. $ (10 \pm 0.2 ) m $

A Correct answer
Explanation

Let the side length of the square park is $l$.

The area of a square is given as,

$A = {l^2}$

$100 = {l^2}$

$l = 10\;{\rm{m}}$

The error in length is given as,

$\dfrac{{\Delta A}}{A} = 2\dfrac{{\Delta l}}{l}$

$\dfrac{{0.2}}{{100}} = 2\dfrac{{\Delta l}}{{10}}$

$\Delta l = 0.01\;{\rm{m}}$

Thus, the side of the park is $\left( {10 \pm 0.01} \right)\;{\rm{m}}$.
