General Instruction:
I. All questions are compulsory.
II. Question No. 1 and 2 carry one mark each.
III. Question No. 3 to 5 carries two marks each.
IV. Question No. 6 to 9 carries three marks each.
V. Question No.10 carries 5 marks.

Question 1: (1)
Define an inclined plane.

Question 2: (1)
Name a type of single pulley that can act as a force multiplier. Draw a labelled diagram of the above-
named pulley.

Question 3: (2)
A force is applied on

a. a rigid body and

b. non-rigid body.
How does the effect of force differ in the two cases?

Question 4: (2)
A combination of a movable pulley P1with a fixed pulley P2 is used for lifting up a load W.

a. State the function of the fixed pulley P2.

b. If the free end of the string moves through a distance x, find the distance by which
the load W is raised.

Question 5: (2)
What should the angle between force and displacement be to get the

a. minimum work
b. maximum work

Question 6: (3)
Define:
 a. Work
b. Power
c. Energy.

Question 7: (3)
Write the expression for the work done by constant force acting on a body, which gets displaced
from its initial position in a direction different from the direction of force.

Question 8: (3)
Give an example when work done by force acting on a body is zero even though the body gets
displaced from its initial position by the application of the force.

Question 9: (3)
How can the work done be measured when force is applied at an angle to the direction of
displacement?

Question 10: (5)

State the amount of work done by an object when it moves in a circular path for one complete
rotation. Give reason to justify your answer.
