Work Sheet - 1 Name of The Student: - Class:-10 Sec - Academic Year

This document contains 4 worksheets about machines and gears for a 10th grade physics class. It includes questions about levers, pulleys, inclined planes, gears, mechanical advantage, velocity ratio, torque, and efficiency. For example, worksheet 1 asks about the preferred lever for force multiplication and calculating effort using a fire tong. Worksheet 2 asks about the efficiency of a single movable pulley and calculating mechanical advantage of a fixed pulley system. Worksheet 3 asks students to provide examples of different lever classes and explain why more effort is needed to push a load up an inclined plane.

Machines

1. To use a machine as a force multiplier, what type / class of lever should be preferably used.
Draw a sketch of such lever. [2001] [2]

2. A pair of scissors and a pair of pliers belong to the same class of levers i) which one has MA less
than 1. ii) state the usefulness of such a machine. [2001] [3]

3. A cook uses a fire tong of length 28cm to lift a piece of burning coal of mass 250gm. If he applies
his effort at a distance of 7cm from the fulcrum, what is the effort in SI units? g = 10m/s2 . [2002] [3]

Machines

1. Give two reasons why the efficiency of a single movable pulley is not 100%. [2003] [2]

2. Explain why scissors for cutting cloth may have blades much longer than the handles but
shears for cutting metal have short blades & long handles. [2004] [2]

3. A woman draws water from a well using a fixed pulley. The mass of the bucket & water
together is 6kg. The force applied by the women is 70N. Calculate the MA. g = 10m/s2 . [2004] [2]
