SOALAN STRUKTUR

1. Diagram 1 shows a hydraulic jack used at a service centre.

a) Name the physics principle involved in the hydraulic jack. [1m]

…………………………………………………………………………………………..

b) A force of 120N is exerted on the small piston. The cross sectional area of the small
piston and the large piston are 0.015 m2 and 0.78 m2 respectively.
i) Calculate the pressure at X.

-9-
 [2m]
ii) What is the pressure at Y?

………………………………………………………………………………………………
[1m]
iii) Determine the weight of the vehicle supported by the large piston.

[2m]

c) Explain one modification to the large piston that will enable the jack to lift a heavier
load.

……………………………………………………………………………………………
[1m]
d) Name another device which also uses this principle.

……………………………………………………………………………………………
[1m]

2. Diagram 6.1 and 6.2 shows situation of a canopy before a lorry moves and when the
lorry moves respectively.

a)(i) What is meant by pressure ? [1 m]

………………………………………………………………………………………….

ii) Compare the air pressure above and below the canopy when the lorry is moving.

………………………………………………………………………………………
[1m]
iii) Relate the speed of air to the pressure of air.

………………………………………………………………………………………
[1m]
iv) Name the physics principle involved in question 2(a)(iii).

……………………………………………………………………………………..
[1m]
b) Diagram 6.3 shows a venture tube filled with water where the two ends are closed by
stoppers. Diagram 6.4 shows water flowing through a horizontal tube with a constant
flow rate.

Diagram 6.3 Diagram 6.4

i) Compare the speed of water at X, Y and Z in Diagram 6.4.

………………………………………………………………………………………[1m]

ii) Mark the water levels in tubes P, Q and R in Diagram 6.4. [1m]
3. Diagram 7.1 shows an airplane taking off. When the airplane moves forward, the
difference in air pressure causes a resultant force that lifts the wings up as shown in
