FORCES AND MATTER Q&A:

1. 5.1- extension = extended length –

original length

= 102 – 80 = 22cm

2.

4
8
12
16
20
23
25
26

3. 5.3- F = kx, x = 4cm

4k = 2.5 N
k = 2.5/4 = 0.625 N/cm
F = 0.625x

x = 12cm
F = 0.625 *12=7.5N
4. 5.4- ORIGINAL LENGTH = 12CM
EXTENDED LENGTH = 15CM
k = 8N/cm
extension = extended length – original length
= 15 – 12 = 3cm
F=kx
= 8 * 3 = 24N

5.
 6. 5.6- a. barometer b. manometer
7. 5.7 a. Tank A- The liquid on the left hand side is pushed downwards whereas the levels
of the liquid are the same in Tank B which shows that the pressure difference is not there but in A, it is there.
b. The pressure in Tank B is equal to the atmospheric pressure
because the other side of the tube is exposed to the atmospheric pressure, we don’t find any level difference so it is
equal, the gas pressure inside the tank is equal to the atmospheric pressure.

8. 5.8 Pressure = Force/Area

9. 5.9 Pa or N/m2

10. 5.10- Case 1= P=F/A=100/1 = 100N/cm Case 2= P=F/A=100/2=50N/cm2

Some force acting on a larger area exerts a lesser pressure.

11. 5.11- P=F/A=40000/2= 20000N/m2

12. 5.12- A=lb=10*4=40m2

F=PA=15000*40=600000N OR 600KN because
1KN=1000N
13. 5.13- P=h*r.h.o*g=0.8*1000*10=8000Pa
14. 5.14- a. V= 1*1.5*2=3m3
b. mass= density*volume= 920*3=2760kg
weight=mass*acceleration due to gravity
= 2760*10=27600N
c. P=F/A so A=lb=1.5*2=3m2
P=27600/3=9200N/m2
d. P=h*r.h.o*g=1*920*10=9200N/m2
The answer is the same.
