Answer: According to Archimedes’ principle, buoyant force equals the weight of the liquid displaced by the object. Therefore, the buoyant force on the object would be 200 N.

1.4 The role of the opposition in democracy : The role of the opposition is very significant in a democratic country. Without a strong opposition a democratic state can't achieve success nor it can ensure the interests of the mass people. There wasn't any recognized opposition party till the time of the Fourth General elections(because excepting the Indian National Congress, no other party could win the mandatory 50 seats required to claim the recognition as an opposition).But later on a few political parties could manage the recognition as the opposition party. In fact only after the year 1977 that the role of an opposition came to be noticed somehow in a clear manner. In every democratic state of the world the strong role played by the opposition has enabled there to make the democratic government successful. The two democratic states where the opposition party has strong role to play are the United States Of America (the U.S.A.) and England (the Great Britain). Many political experts have suggested several advice as to what should be the proper role of the opposition in a democratic state against the political party in power or the ruling party. Mainly the functions of the opposition in a democratic state are like as follows:
  1. In order to safeguard the interests of the mass people and also the state and to protect the sanctity of the constitution the opposition party must keep a constant vigil like a watch dog.
  2. The opposition party must keep a sharp watch on the activities of the government, so that the political party in power or the ruling party heading the government machinery can't and doesn't indulge in anything against the national interest or anything detrimental to the good of the mass people.
  3. The ongoing and upcoming schemes, plans and programmes of the government are to be scrutinized properly and if found anything not in order, the opposition must bring them to the light on the floor of the Parliament through constructive criticism for necessary rectification of the flaws on the part of the government.
  4. The hopes and aspirations as well as the wants and necessities of the mass people have to be presented in a proper way so that the government takes due notice of them.
  5. To remain well prepared to form alternative government as and when such necessity and situation arise.
