Short Answer

a. A body of weight 340 N stands on the ground on its base. If it exerts a pressure


of 170 Pa on the ground, find the area of the base of the body.
…………………………………………………………………………………….
…………………………………………………………………………………….
…………………………………………………………………………………….
…………………………………………………………………………………….
…………………………………………………………………………………….
…………………………………………………………………………………….
Area=Force/Pressure, Area = 340/170=2

b. What produces pressure in liquid?

…………………………………………………………………………………….
…………………………………………………………………………………….
…………………………………………………………………………………….
…………………………………………………………………………………….
…………………………………………………………………………………….
…………………………………………………………………………………….
Liquid pressure is due to the forces between liquid particles and the surface of a
container

c. In the figure below water spurts out faster and furthest from lowest hole.
Explain why that happens?
…………………………………………………………………………………….
…………………………………………………………………………………….
…………………………………………………………………………………….
…………………………………………………………………………………….
…………………………………………………………………………………….

The deeper a liquid, the greater the weight above


and so the higher the pressure

d. Write two uses for the hydraulic system


1. …………………………………………………..
Page3of 7
2. …………………………………………………..

Car brakes
Hydraulic press

e. Use the picture below to explain what the link between pressure and
volume.

…………………………………………………………………………………….
…………………………………………………………………………………….
…………………………………………………………………………………….
…………………………………………………………………………………….
…………………………………………………………………………………….
Inversely proportional

f. Look at the graphs below, and write the name of the relationship

inversely proportional Directly proportional

g. Here are the densities of some materials
Material Density
ice 0.9

plastic 1.4

Iron 7.9

Name the materials that sink in water


Plastic,iron
…………………………………………………………………………………….
…………………………………………………………………………………….
…………………………………………………………………………………….
…………………………………………………………………………………….

h. Label the parts of the lever

load
effort
Fulcrum
Fill in the blank:

A. The particles in a liquid are very close together so liquids are


………………………………………incompressible

B. Deep-sea drivers must return to the surface very slowly to stop the bubbles
forming this condition is called …………………………………..the bends

C. A hydraulic jack is called……………………………… Force multiplier

Page5of 7
D. The air around us exerts gas pressure on our bodies all the time this is called
…………………………………………… Atmospheric pressure

PROBLEM
a. Copy and complete the tables below for a simple hydraulic machine

Area of Force Pressure in Area of Force


piston A applied to the liquid piston B applied to
piston A piston B

2 cm2 10 N 5 20 cm2 100

5 cm2 40 N 8 60 cm2 480

0.02 cm2 8N 400 0.2 cm2 80

b. A cube has a side length of 0.15 m.If the mass of the cube is 3 kg, what is
its density? 
……………………………………………………………………………………
.
……………………………………………………………………………………
.
……………………………………………………………………………………
.
…………………………………………………………………………….
……………………………………………………………………………………
.
Density = mass/volume = 3/0.003375= 888.89 kg/m3
Volume of cube= lenghtxwidthxhight =0.15x0.15x0.15= 0.003375

c. Two girls are sitting opposite sides of a seesaw. One girl weighs 400 N
and is 1.5 m from the pivot. Where must her 150 N friend sit if the
seesaw is to balance
……………………………………………………………………………………
.

……………………………………………………………………………………
.
……………………………………………………………………………………
Moment girl1 = moment girl 2
(FXD)1=(FXD)2
(400X1.5)=(150XD)
600=150XD
D=4 m

d. How far should the boy on the left sit from the pivot point in order to make the
seesaw balance?

(FXD)1=(FXD)2
220X0.6=180Xd2
132=180xd2
D2= 0.74 m
