Ans. Newton per square metre.
Ans. Yes, liquids also exert pressure. When a liquid is put in a vessel it exerts pressure on its bottom and wall.
Ans. The outward force per unit area of the walls is called gas pressure.
Ans. The pressure exerted by the atmospheric air is known as atmospheric pressure.
Ans. The buoyant force on an object immersed in a liquid acts in upward direction (i.e., opposite to weight of the object).
Ans. The density of plastic is less than that of water, so the force of buoyancy on plastic block(V\(\rho\)plastic g) will be greater than the weight of plastic block displaced, i.e., (V \(\rho\) water g). Hence, the acceleration of plastic block will be in upward direction, and comes up to the surface of water.
Mathematically,
acceleration, a = B — W
= \(\frac { V\quad { \rho }_{ water }\quad g\quad -\quad V\quad { \rho }_{ plastic }\quad g }{ m } \)
= \(\frac { V\quad g\quad ({ \rho }_{ water }\quad \quad -\quad \quad { \rho }_{ plastic })\quad }{ m } \)
is positive in upward direction.
Ans. Density of substance, \(\rho \) =\(\frac{mass}{volume}\) = \(\frac { 50\quad g }{ 20\quad { cm }^{ 3 } } \) = 2.5 g cm-3
As density of substance is greater than the density of water, therefore, the substance will sink in water. Alternatively, the buoyant force exerted by water (\((V\quad { \rho }_{ water }\quad g)\)) on substance, when fully immersed, is less than the weight of substance, i.e., B< W; hence, the substance will sink in water.
Ans. Density of packet, \(\rho =\frac { mass }{ volume } \)
=\(\frac { 500\quad g }{ 350\quad { cm }^{ 3 } } \)
=\(\frac { 10\quad }{ 7 } g\quad { cm }^{ -3 }\)
= l.43 g cm-3
As density of packet is more than the density of water, so the packet will sink in water.
Weight of water displaced by the packet
= volume of packet x density of water
= (350 cm3) x (l g cm-3) = 350 g
Obviously, the force of buoyancy, B = 350 g wt and weight of packet, W = 500 g wt i.e., B < W; so the packet sinks in water.
If a school bag has a strap made of thin and strong string, the whole weight of school bag will fall of over a very small area (equal to that string) on the shoulder. So pressure on shoulder P =\(\frac{Weight of the bag}{Area of string}\) of child will be very large and hence painful for the child. Hence, it is difficult to hold a school bag having a strap made of thin string.
Ans. When an object is placed in a liquid, the liquid exerts an upward force on it. The tendency of liquid to exert such an upward force on the object is called the buoyancy and the upward force exerted by liquid on the object is called the buoyant force (or the force of buoyancy).
Ans. When an object is immersed in water, the water exerts an upward force on the object. This upward force equal to the weight of water displaced by object is called the buoyant Force.
If on completely immersing the object, the buoyant force is more than the weight of object will float on water. In other words, if the density of object is less than that of water, then the object will float on water.
On the other hand if buoyant force, on completely immersing the object in water, is less than the weight of the object, the object will sink in water. In other words, if the density of object is greater than water, then the object will sink in water.
In brief, if p object < p water , the object will float and if p object > p water, the object will sink.
Ans. When we stand on a weighing machine, we replace air equal to volume of our body. So measured weight, W = actual weight — upthrust
= mg — V p air g
Therefore, Measured mass, m’ = \(\frac { W }{ g }\) = (m-V air )
That is the measured mass will be less than the actual mass. Therefore, our mass is more than 42 kg.
Ans. Actually mass of cotton is more than the mass of iron bar. This is because
Weight measured = Actual weight — buoyant force
Therefore, Actual weight = weight measured + buoyant force
The volume of cotton is much more than the volume of iron bar, so buoyant force (B = volume of object x density of air x g) of air on cotton is much more than that of air on iron bar, so mass of cotton will be more than the mass of iron bar.
Ans. It is the maximum displacement of a vibrating body on one side.
Ans. It is the time taken by a vibrating body to complete one oscillation.
Ans. It is the number of vibrations produced by a vibrating body in one second.
Ans. It is the sound of frequencies more than 20000 hertz. We cannot hear such sounds.
Ans. Amplitude.
Ans. Frequency.
Ans. The sound of high amplitude is called loudness.
Ans.
Frequency of A = \(\frac{14}{5}\) = 2.8 hertz
Frequency of B = \(\frac{10}{3}\) = 3.33 hertz
Therefore, Pendulum B has higher frequency.
Ans. Frequency of a vibration or oscillation is measured in hertz. It is the unit of frequency.
Ans. A sharp knife has a very thin edge to its blade. A sharp knife cuts objects better because due to its very thin edge, the force of our hand falls over very small area of the object producing a large pressure. And this large pressure cuts the object easily. On the other hand, a blunt knife has a thicker edge. A blunt knife does not cut an object easily because due to its thicker edge, the force of our hand falls over a larger area of the object and produces lesser pressure. This
lesser pressure cuts the object with difficulty.
Ans. The tip of the needle is sharp so that due to its sharp tip, the needle may put the force on a very small area of the cloth, producing a large pressure sufficient enough to pierce the cloth being stitched.
Ans. A nail has a pointed tip, so that when it is hammered, the force of hammer falls on a very small area of wood creating a large pressure which pushes the nail into wood.
Ans. When a man is walking, then at one time only his one foot is on the ground. Due to this, the force of weight of the man falls on a smaller area of the ground and produces more pressure on the ground. On the other hand, when the man is standing both his feet are on the ground and produces lesser pressure on the ground.
Ans. When a man stands on a cushion then only his two feet are in contact with the cushion. Due to this, the weight of man falls on a small area of cushion producing a large pressure. This large pressure causes a big depression in cushion. On the other hand, when the same man is lying on the cushion, then his whole body is in contact with the cushion. In this case, the weight of man falls on a much larger area of the cushion producing much smaller pressure. And this smaller pressure produces a very little depression in the cushion.
Ans. This ¡s because flat shoes have a greater area in contact with the soft sand due to which there is less pressure on the soft ground. Due to this the flat shoes do not sink much in soft sand and it is easy to walk on it. On the other hand, a sharp heel has a small area in contact with the soft sand and so exerts greater pressure on the soft sand. Due to this greater pressure, the sharp heels tend to sink deep into soft sand making it difficult for the wearer to walk on sand.
Ans. The tractors have broad tyres so that there is less pressure on the ground and the tyres do not sink into comparatively soft ground in the fields.
Ans. The snow shoes have large, flat soles so that there is less pressure on the soft snow and stop the wearer from sinking into it.
Ans. Ship is not a solid block of iron and steel. A ship is a hollow object made of iron and steel which Contains a lot of air in it. Air has a very low density. Due to the presence of a lot of air in it, the average density of the ship becomes less
than the density of water, therefore, a ship floats in water.
Ans. (a) The boat floats lower in water.
(b) The weight of water displaced increases.
(c) The buoyant force on boat increases.
Ans. The average density of hollow box made up of sheet of tins becomes less than the density of water, so it floats.
Ans. The pressure increases with increase of depth of water. The increase in pressure is 1 atm by 10 m increase of water. If this pressure falls on the driver directly, he will not tolerate it. Therefore, if a driver wants to go to large
depth, he should wear the metallic cover. The pressure of water column falls on the metallic cover and the pressure inside the cover remains nearly equal to atmospheric pressure. Thus, by wearing metallic cover the driver remains quite safe.
Ans. The pressure at a point inside a liquid depends on the depth of point from the free surface, therefore, the pressure is very high at the bottom of the dam. To tolerate this pressure, the walls of dam are made thick at the bottom. As
we move upwards, the pressure goes on decreasing: so the thickness of wall is made smaller and smaller. That is why the walls of dam are made thick at the bottom and thin at the top.
Ans. The body of man is lighter than water but the head is heavier than water. Therefore, total weight of man happens to be greater than the weight of water displaced: therefore the man can sink in water. Hence, for floating in water, the man has to displace more water by moving his arms and legs. By doing so when the weight of water displaced by man becomes equal to the weight of man, the man begins to float. The density of sea water is greater than the fresh water of river, therefore the weight of sea water displaced becomes easily equal to the weight of man. Hence, it is easier to float in sea water than in river water.

Given that,
Number of oscillation = 40
Total time taken = 4 seconds
Time period = time taken in one oscillation
= \(\frac{Total time}{Total number of oscillations}\)
= \(\frac{4 seconds}{40}\)
= \(\frac{1}{10}\) = 0.1 second
Again, frequency = number of oscillations per second
