1. Thrust exerted by an iron cuboid when placed on sand is equal to

  mass of cuboid

 mass per unit surface area

  weight of cuboid

 weight per unit surface area

Question 1 of 10

2. A glass cuboidal has dimensions 10gm × 10 cm 4 × cm. it is kept with its perfect face (10 cm × 10 cm) in contact with the table. if is lifted and allowed to rest on the table with its smaller surface (10 cm × 4 cm) in contact with the table the pressure exerted will

  remain unchanged

 decrease

 increase

 may increase or decrease depending on the shape of table.

Question 2 of 10

3. The pressure exerted by water (density = 10³ kg/m³) on the bottom surface (2m × 4m) of tank having dimensions 2m × 4m × 2m is

 2.96 × 10⁵ Pa

 1.96 × 10⁵ Pa

 1.80 × 10⁴ Pa

 1.96 × 10⁴ Pa

Question 3 of 10

4. The SI unit of pressure is

  N

 N m^-1

 Pa

 N m²

Question 4 of 10

5. A sharp edge blade is more effective in cutting than a blunt blade due to

 Low force

  Low pressure

 Large contact area

 Small contact area

Question 5 of 10

6. For a given applied thrust, pressure exerted on a surface by a sharp pin is

 more than the pressure exerted by a blunt pin.

 less than the pressure exerted by a blunt pin.

 equal to the pressure exerted by a blunt pin.

 either less or equal to the pressure exerted by a blunt pin.

Question 6 of 10

7. The neck and bottom of a bottle are 2cm and 20 cm in diameter respectively. The cork is pressed with same pressure. If the cork is pressed with a force of 1.2 kgf on the neck of the bottle, the force exerted on the bottom of the bottle will be:

 1200 kgf

 120 kgf

 1.2 kgf

 12 kgf

Question 7 of 10

8. An object exerts a force F on a surface of surface area A. The pressure P acting on the surface is given by

  P = FA

 P = F/A

 P = F/A²

 P = A/F

Question 8 of 10

9. To observe and compare the pressure exerted by three different faces of a cuboid on sand, the following Cuboid is available to you:
(A) Wooden cuboid of dimension 20 cm x 30 cm x 50 cm
(B) Aluminium cuboid of dimension 3 cm x 6 cm x 12 cm
(C) Iron cuboid of dimension 5 cm x 10 cm x 15 cm
(D) Iron cuboid of dimension 20 cm x 30 cm x 15 cm
The best choice from the practical point of view would be:

 A

 B

 D

 C

Question 9 of 10
