i. Scalene triangle ii. Hollow ring
iii, Solid core iv. Solid cylinder [2]
b. A nut is opened by a spanner of length 10 cm. If the least force required is 10 N find the
moment of force required to turn the nut. [2]
c. How is the uniform circular motion differing from uniform linear motion? [2]
d. Define moment of couple what are its units. [2]
e. Explain the source of centripetal force for the following:
i. Motion of moon around the earth
ii. Electrons revolving around the nucleus. [2]

Question 2

a. Give two examples each of static and dynamic equilibrium. [2]

b. What is meant by the terms ‘center of gravity of a body’ and ‘centrifugal force’. [2]
c. A stone of mass ‘m’ is rotated in a circular path with a uniform speed by tying a strong
string with the help of your hand. Answer the following question
i. is the stone moving with a uniform or variable velocity?
ii. is the stone moving with uniform acceleration? In which direction does the
acceleration act.?
iii. What kind of force act on the hand and state its direction? [3]
d. Uniform meter scale is balanced at 60 cm mark such that two weights one of 5gf and
another of 40 gf or suspended at 10 cm mark and 80 cm mark respectively calculate the
weight of the meter scale. [3]
