c. What conclusions can we draw from image D?
i) Pressure exerted by a liquid at a certain depth is same in all directions.
ii) Pressure exerted by a liquid increases with increasing depth.
iii) Both i) & ii)
iv) Air exerts pressure on the surface of a liquid.
d. Identify E
i) Hygrometer ii) Barometer iii) U- tube manometer iv) U-tube barometer
II. Assertion and Reason
6. Assertion (A): A car slows down when breaks are applied.
Reason (R): When brakes are applied, a force acts on the wheel in the direction of the
car.
a) Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A.
b) Both A and R are correct but R is not the correct explanation of A.
c) A is correct and R is incorrect.
d) A is incorrect and R is correct.
7. Assertion (A): A small pieces of paper are attracted towards a comb when the comb is
brought near them after combing hair.
Reason (R): Electrostatic force comes into play between the charged comb and the
pieces of paper.
8. Assertion (A): It is much easier to burst an inflated balloon with a needle than by a
finger.
Reason (R): Pressure exerted by a needle is more than the force exerted by the finger.
III. Answer the following questions:
1. Define force. Mention its S.I and C.G.S units.
2. Explain different types of contact and Non-contact forces with examples.
3. Name all the forces acting on a stone from the time you use catapult to throw it to the time it
touches the ground.
4. Observe the volume of water taken in each vessel labelled as A, B, C and D. Arrange them in
the order of decreasing pressure at the base of each vessel. Explain.
5. Draw diagrams to show that-

i) A liquid exerts the same pressure in all directions at a given depth.
ii) Liquid pressure increases with increase in height or depth of liquid column.
iii) Liquid exerts pressure on the sides or walls of the container.
6. State the factors affecting the atmospheric pressure.
7. If all objects attract one another then why don’t we see them moving towards each other?
8. Why are fountain pens likely to leak while travelling in an aeroplane?
IV. Numericals:

4. What is the mass of an object whose weight is 49N? (Given g= 9.8 m/s2)
5. A luggage weights 275N on moon. Find its weight on the earth in Newton and dyne.
6. The mass of an object 250kg on the earth. What is its mass on the moon?
7. Calculate the pressure if a force of 23N is applied over an area of 46m2.
8. What is the magnitude of force required to produce a pressure of 37500 Pa on an area of
300cm2

170N. In team B, three members pull the rope with forces of 130N, 150N, and 155N. Who
will win the game? And also mention the direction of the resultant force.
10. Calculate the pressure exerted on the floor by a boy standing on both feet if the weight of the
boy is 40 kg (Assume that the area of contact of each shoe is 6cm by 25 cm.) 1kg wt. = 10 N

exerted by it in three different placements. Also arrange the pressure exerted by the box in
ascending order. (Given m= 20 kg, and g = 9.8 m/s2)
V. Value based questions:
Vivek went for a mountaineering camp with his friends. When they reached the mountain
top, one of his friends experienced heavy nose bleeding. Vivek rushed him to the camp and
gave him first aid. His friend was very disturbed and couldn’t understand the reason for his
nose bleeding.
Now, answer the following questions.
1. Can you explain the possible reason for Vivek’s friends nose bleeding?
2. What value was shown by Vivek in this incidence?
VI. Give reasons for the following:
1. Wooden planks are kept below the railway tracks.
2. Heavy load trucks have 8 or more tyres and their tyres are broader.
3. It is easier to pierce a cardboard with a pin having sharp pointed tip.
4. Cooking is difficult in mountainous regions.
5. Deep sea divers wear a specially designed suit. Atmospheric pressure decreases as we
go higher up above the earth's surface.
6. Buildings and dams are made broader at the base than at the top.
7. A sharp knife cuts better than a blunt knife.
8. It is easier to walk on soft sand if you have flat shoes rather than shoes with pointed
heels.
