1. The document discusses various concepts related to force and pressure including the definition of force, types of forces, and pressure. 2. It explains that a force can cause changes in the motion, shape, or state of an object. Forces can be contact forces or non-contact forces. 3. The document also discusses pressure as the force applied per unit area. Pressure increases with decreasing area of contact and vice versa. Atmospheric pressure and its examples are provided.

Class VIII, Force and Pressure

1. A push or pull on an object is called a force.


2. Motion imparted to objects is due to action of force.
3. At least two objects must interact for a force to come into play. An interaction of one object
with another object results in a force between two objects.
4. Forces applied on an object in same direction add up.
5. If two forces act on an object in opposite direction, the net force acting on it is the difference
between the two forces.
6. The strength of a force is usually expressed by its magnitude.
7. The direction in which force acts needs to be specified.
8. If the direction or magnitude of the applied force changes, its effect also changes.
9. A force can bring about a change in the state of motion of an object. A change in speed of an
object or its direction of motion, both are described as change in state of motion.
10. Force can change the shape of an object. eg. Dough rolled into a chapati.
11. A force can act on an object with or without being in contact with it.
12. Types of forces-
a. Contact force- If an object is in direct or indirect contact with the source of the force, the
force is known as contact force.
i. Muscular force- The force resulting due to action of muscles on an object is called
muscular force. eg.ball thrown by hands, handbag picked up using a handle,
elephant pulling a log of wood.
ii. Friction- is a force that comes into play whenever a body tries to move over the
surface of another. It always acts on all the moving objects and its direction is
opposite to the direction of motion. eg. Friction between the surface of the ball and
the ground that brings the moving ball to rest.
b. Non contact forces-The force exerted by one object on another without being in contact.
i. Magnetic force- It acts on a magnetic substance or another magnet, without
touching it.eg. attraction and repulsion between magnets.
ii. Electrostatic force- The force exerted by a charged body on another charged or
uncharged body.eg If we stand near the screen of a working T.V with synthetic
clothes on you, the clothing will be heavily attracted by the television screen. This
is because a television screen while working is highly negatively charged and
attracts the neutral clothes.
iii. Gravitational force- The force with which the earth attracts other objects towards it
is known as gravitational force. It acts on all objects. Eg. Water in rivers flow
downwards, ball falls vertically downwards.
13. Pressure- The force acting on a unit area of a
surface. Pressure= Force / Area
Pressure increases when area of contact decreases and pressure decreases when area of
contact increases.
This explains-
  Shoulder bags are provided with broad straps.
  Tools meant for cutting and piercing always have sharp edges.
  Porters place a round piece of cloth on their heads.
  Pillars of the bridges and flyovers have broad base
  Tyres of truck and other heavy vehicles are broad.
14. Liquids and gases exert pressure on the walls of the container.
15. The pressure exerted by liquids and gases is equal on all sides at the same depth or at a given
point.
16. The envelop of air around us is atmosphere. The atmospheric air extends upto many kilometers
above the surface of the earth. The pressure exerted by this air is known as atmospheric
pressure.
17. Pressure inside our bodies is equal to the atmospheric pressure. People having high blood
pressure feel uncomfortable because of imbalance between the body fluid pressure and
the atmospheric pressure.
18. Examples of atmospheric pressure- rubber air suckers as hangers, use of a parachute while
falling down from an aircraft, weather prediction as a fall in atmospheric pressure indicates
rain or snow fall.

Q19. Read the following Case Study to answer the questions that follow:

Force has both magnitude and direction .Force can be applied on an object in the same direction , the
two forces can also act in the opposite direction on an object, there may be or not a net force acting on
the object. In general, more than one force may be acting on an object at any given point. However, a
force acting on an object is always the mean net force acting on it. Further a Force can change the State
of Motion a change in the speed of an object or the direction of its motion or both implies a change in its
state of motion and Force acting on an object may bring a change in its state of motion or a change in its
shape also.
i. When two forces act in opposite directions, then net force acting is the
(a) sum of two forces
(b) difference between two forces
(c) both of these
(d) none of these
ii. The strength of force is expressed by its
(a) weight
(b) mass
(c) magnitude
(d) longitudinal force
iii. State of motion is described by
(a) Position of rest
(b) Position of motion
(c) Both by the state of rest or motion
(d) None of these
iv. Which of the following is proper example(s) to explain that force on an object may change its
shape
(a) A ball of dough rolled into chapati
(b) Pressing a rubber ball kept on table
(c) Making model using clay
(d) All of the above

Answer key:

Ans 1: This generates the pressure to fill the liquid


Ans2: Difference of pressure in the blood vessels causes movement of liquid content
Ans 3. Less the area more the pressure applied, area of the tipoff the needle is very less and thus
applies more pressure
Ans 4 liquid content of the body is always in motion and therefore equal pressure
applied. Ans5 . Electrostatic force of attraction
Ans6 . pointed tip of the heel reduces the area of contact and therefore causes
imbalance. Ans 7 from d text book
Ans8. Opposing force reduces the speed of the ball
Gravitational force acts on all objects causes acceleration due to gravity.
Gravitational force is very less.
Ans 9/0 use the formula
Force = Mass * acceleration
Ans 11 pressure = force/Area.
Ans 12 class notes.
Ans 13 Mass is the actual space occupied by an object, weight = mass * gravity
Ans 14 work is said to be done when on applying force there is some change in the position of the
object.
