Q1. It is difficult to cut things with a blunt knife because
- the pressure exerted by knife for a given force increases with increase in bluntness
- A sharp edge decreases pressure exerted by knife for a given force
- a blunt knife decreases the pressure for a given force
- a blunt knife decreases the area of intersection
Q2. The pressure in a liquid at a given depth below the surface
- is same in all directions
- is always exerted downward
- equals the total weight of liquid above the depth
- depends upon the amount of liquid below the depth
Q3. The pressure at the bottom of a liquid tank does not depend on
- density of the liquid
- acceleration due to gravity
- area of the liquid surface
- height of the liquid
Q4. The pressure of the earth’s atmosphere at sea level is due to the
- heating of the atmosphere by the sun
- fact that most living things constantly breathe air
- evaporation of water from the seas and oceans
- gravitational attraction of the earth for the atmosphere
Q5. The rate of leak from a hole in a tank is
- more if situated near the bottom
- more if situated near its top
- independent of its height from the bottom
- more at midway between top and bottom
Q6. An ideal liquid flows through a horizontal tube of variable diameter.
The pressure is lowest where the
- velocity is lowest
- velocity is highest
- diameter is largest
- None of the above
Q7 . If we want to calculate the pressure of a liquid at the bottom of vessel, the quantity which is not required to determine it, is of a liquid
- surface area of the bottom of the vessel
- height of the liquid column
- density of the liquid
- acceleration due to gravity at the bottom of the vessel
Q8. The operating principle of a hydraulic press is
- Boyle’s law
- Pascal’s principle
- Archimedes’ principle
- Newton’s law of gravitation
Q9. Pressure at any point of a liquid increases with
