"Sum of all forces acting on a body is zero." This condition represents equilibrium'

A.

First condition

B.

Second condition

C.

Third condition

D.

Fourth condition

Correct answer is A

First condition

212.

A well 1km deep is filled with a liquid of density 950kg/m3 and g = 10m/s2, the pressure at the bottom of the well is

A.

9.6 × 106N/m2

B.

9.5 x 105N/m2

C.

9.4 x 106N/m2

D.

9.5 x 106N/m2

Correct answer is A

P = Pa + ρgh = (1.00 × 105) + (950 × 10 × 1000)
P = 105 + (95 × 105) = 105(1 + 95) = 96 × 105
P = 9.6 × 106 N/m2

213.

Efficiency of conduction in liquids and gases compared to solids is

A.

less efficient than solid

B.

more efficient than solids

C.

equally efficient to solids

D.

efficiently may vary

Correct answer is A

Efficiency of conduction in liquids and gases compared to solids is less efficient than solid.

214.

Which of the following statements is/are correct for a freely falling body?
I. the total is entirely kinetic
II. the ratio of potential energy to kinetic energy is constant
III. the sum of potential and kinetic energy is constant

A.

I only

B.

II only

C.

III only

D.

I & III only

Correct answer is C

- the total energy at any point is a combination of the P.E and K.E
- the sum of PE and KE at any point is always constant not the ratio of P.E to K.E

215.

An object is acted upon by a system of parallel forces causing the object to be in state equilibrium. Which of the following statement is not correct

A.

the resultant of the parallel forces is zero

B.

the algebraic sum of all the moments of the forces is zero

C.

all the parallel forces must not be equal in magnitude and direction

D.

the sum of forces in one direction must be equal to the sum of forces in the opposite direction

Correct answer is C

all the parallel forces must be equal in magnitude and direction
