Sample questions

1. 1.Why does skidding usually occur on a rainy day along a curved path?
   • A.The road becomes smoother, increasing friction.
   • B.The force of friction decreases, failing to provide necessary centripetal force.
   • C.The vehicle's tires become more adhesive to the road.
   • D.The centripetal force required becomes zero on a rainy day.
2. 2.Fig. 1.32 shows a uniform metre rule placed on a fulcrum at its mid-point O and having a weight $40\mathrm{gf}$ at the $10\mathrm{cm}$ mark and a weight of $20\mathrm{gf}$ at the $90\mathrm{cm}$ mark. (i) Is the metre rule in equilibrium? If not, how will the rule turn? (ii) How can the rule be brought in equilibrium by using an additional weight of 40 gf?
3. 3.Why are racing cars designed to be very broad and very low in height?
   • A.To increase the centre of gravity for better aerodynamics
   • B.To keep the centre of gravity very low, ensuring stability during sharp turns at high speeds
   • C.To reduce the weight of the car for higher speeds
   • D.To allow for larger fuel tanks and more power
4. 4.The moment of a force of 5 N about a point P is 2 Nm. Calculate the distance of point of application of the force from the point P.
5. 5.A uniform metre scale rests horizontally on a knife edge at the 60 cm mark when a mass of 10 g is suspended from one end. From which end should this mass be suspended, and what is the mass of the metre scale?
   • A.From the 100 cm end; mass of metre scale is 40 g
   • B.From the 0 cm end; mass of metre scale is 40 g
   • C.From the 100 cm end; mass of metre scale is 20 g
   • D.From the 0 cm end; mass of metre scale is 20 g
