XIII (XYZ) PHYSICS[PAPER-1] Review Test-5

Question No. 1 to 3 (3 questions)

In figure 1, the winch is mounted on an axle, and the 6-sided nut is welded to the winch. By
turning the nut with a wrench, a person can rotate the winch. For instance, turning the nut clockwise
lifts the block off the ground, because more and more rope gets wrapped around the winch.
Three students agree that using a longer wrench makes it easier to turn the winch. But they disagree
about why. All three students are talking about the case where the winch is used, over a 10-second
time interval, to lift the block one meter off the ground.
Student 1
By using a longer wrench, the person decreases the average force he must exert on the wrench, in
order to lift the block one meter in ten seconds.
Student 2
Using a longer wrench reduces the work done by the person as he uses the winch to lift the block
one meter in ten seconds.
Student 3
Using a longer wrench reduces the power that the person must exert to lift the block one meter in
ten seconds.

(Wrench turns winch clockwise)

Q.1107 Student 1 is:

(A*) Correct, because the torque that the wrench must exert to lift the block doesn’t depend on
the wrench’s length
(B) Correct, because using a longer wrench decreases the torque it must exert on the winch.
(C) Incorrect, because the torque that the wrench must exert to lift the block doesn’t depend on
the wrench’s length
(D) Incorrect, because using a longer wrench decreases the torque it must exert on the winch.
