So, spring balance = Wa – FB = 30 – 5 = 25N.

7) v = 3 × 3× 1 = 9m3
m = δv = 150 × 9 = 1350 kg.
Weight of raft + load = wt. of water displaced by raft
1350 + x = v.δw
v.δw = 1350 = 9 × 1020 – 1350 = 9180 – 1350 = 7830 kg.
Option - (2)

8) The four piston are initially in equilibrium. As additional force F is applied to each piston,

the pressure in fluid at each point must be increased by so that each piston retains state of

equilibrium. Thus the increment in

pressure at each point is (by Pascal's law)

15) m = 50 kg, s = 10 m, F = 100 N, θ = 60°

WD = F s cosθ = 100 × 10 × cos 60°
 = 500 J

19)

PE = mgH = 5 × 10 × 2 = 100 J

20)

v = 72 km/h= 20 m/s

F = m × a = 1000 × 4 = 4000 N
P = F × V = 4000 × 20
P = 8 × 104 W, Pavg = 4 × 104 W
