Sample questions

1. 1.Why is heavy luggage typically loaded near the bottom of a ship?
   • A.To increase the ship's speed by reducing air resistance.
   • B.To lower the center of gravity and maintain stable equilibrium.
   • C.To distribute weight evenly across the ship's deck.
   • D.To prevent the luggage from shifting during rough weather.
2. 2.Which of the following correctly represents the expression for the moment of force about a given axis?
   • A.Moment of force = Force × Distance from the axis along the force
   • B.Moment of force = Force × Perpendicular distance from the axis
   • C.Moment of force = Force ÷ Perpendicular distance from the axis
   • D.Moment of force = Perpendicular distance from the axis ÷ Force
3. 3.Which force is required to keep an object moving in a circular path, and what is its direction?
   • A.Centrifugal force, acting radially outward from the centre.
   • B.Centripetal force, acting radially inward towards the centre.
   • C.Gravitational force, acting downward toward the Earth.
   • D.Frictional force, acting tangent to the circular path.
4. 4.A body is pivoted at a point. A force of 10 N is applied at a distance of 30 cm from the pivot. Calculate the moment of force about the pivot.
5. 5.Define moment of couple and identify its S.I. unit.
   • A.The product of one force and the perpendicular distance between the forces; S.I. unit is newton-metre (Nm).
   • B.The sum of two forces acting in opposite directions; S.I. unit is newton (N).
   • C.The product of mass and acceleration; S.I. unit is kilogram-metre per second squared (kgm/s²).
   • D.The perpendicular distance between two forces; S.I. unit is metre (m).
