A 5 Pa C 12 Pa
B 10 Pa D 20 Pa

2 A girl standing on one foot exerts a pressure of 6.5 N/cm2 on the ground. If the area of her
foot is 80 cm2, calculate the total downward force.
A 0.08 N C 520 N
B 12.3 N D 750 N

3 The pressure exerted by the air is known as…


A air pressure C atmospheric pressure.
B gas pressure D none of these

4 When a given force is applied on larger area of contact the pressure exerted by it….
A increases C does not change
B decreases D none of these

5 Which of the following is a true statement regarding springs?


A The higher the value of the spring constant, the stiffer the spring.
B In Hooke's law, the force exerted by the spring acts in the same direction as
displacement.
C Springs are designed to provide unpredictable variations in force.
D The force exerted by a spring has a quadratic relationship with the displacement form
equilibrium.
1 This question is about the stretching of springs
The diagram below shows an unlocked spring of
length 0,125 m hanging suspended from a
clamp.
When an object of mass 0,125 kg is hung on the
spring, it becomes 0,240 m long.
WRITE THE ANSWER ALONG WITH THE
WORKING.

a. Calculate the weight of the object.


𝑤𝑒𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡 = 𝑚𝑎𝑠𝑠 × 𝑔𝑟𝑎𝑣𝑖𝑡𝑦

weight = .............................................. N [1]

b. Calculate the value of spring constant.


𝐹𝑜𝑟𝑐𝑒
𝑆𝑝𝑟𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑡 =
