    CONTENT REGISTER 2023- 2024


    CLASS: VIII
    SUBJECT: SCIENCE

    L – 9: FORCE AND PRESSURE

    Month-April I-Definitions:
    1. Contact force: A force that acts only when it is in contact with an object is
    called contact force.
    2. Pressure: The force exerted per unit area is called pressure.
    3. Atmospheric pressure: The pressure exerted by the atmosphere on all objects is
    called Atmospheric pressure.

    II- Differentiate:
    Magnetic Force Electrostatic Force
    1.Magnetic force is applied by a magnet 1.Electrostatic force is applied by a
    only on magnetic materials. charged body on another
    charged body or uncharged body.
    2.It involves two poles 2.It involves two types of charges
    (North and South poles) (Positive and Negative
    charges)
    3.Opposite poles always attract each 3.Opposite charges always attract each
    other and similar poles always repel each other and similar charges always repel
    other. each other.

    III-Answer the following questions: -


    Q1. What two things fully describe a force?

    Ans: A force can be described by stating its magnitude and the direction in which it acts.
    (Note: Force is a vector quantity)

    Q2. Why are caterpillar tracks used in battle tanks instead of tyres?

    Ans: The battle tanks are very heavy hence we use broad chains called caterpillar
    tracks which considerably increase the area of contact. This reduces the pressure
    exerted on the tracks than if it had wheels. This prevents the tank from sinking in
    terrain such as marshy land where the wheeled vehicles of the same weight would
    sink.

    IV-Give reasons: -
    Q 1. Gravitational force is acting between you and building but still you are not pulled
    by the building.

    Reason: The magnitude of gravitational force depends on the masses of the two
    objects and the distance between them. Since the masses of the building and our body
    both are not as huge as Earth’s, we do not feel the impact of the gravitational pull on
    each other. Earth pulls us towards itself with a force which is 30,00,00,00,000 times
    more than the force with which the building pulls us.

    Q 2. A spring balance is used to measure the weight but not a beam balance.

    Reason: When we weigh an object using a spring balance, we actually measure the
    Earth’s gravitational force on the object. And weight is a measure of the Earth’s
    gravitational force on the object. A beam balance merely compares the mass of a
    body with the known mass of a standard weight.

    V-NUMERICALS
    1. What would be the pressure applied by an object which is hitting the ground
    with a force of 2.5 N and the area of contact with the ground is, 25cm X 5
    cm.

    Solution:
    Given are

    Force applied by the object on the ground = 2.5 N

    Area of contact between the object and the ground= (25X5) square cm

    To find => Pressure

    Formula to be used=>

    Pressure = Force/area of contact (N/m2)

    First convert unit of area into m(metre)

    Area= 125/10000 m2 = 0.0125 m2

    Pressure= 2.5 N/0.0125 m2

    Answer is = 200 Pa or pascal pressure is exerted by the object on ground.


    2. Find the resultant force and final direction of movement of object B, if A applies
    a force of 27N on B in Eastward direction and C applies a force of 27N on B in
    Eastward direction?

    Solution: Force applied by object A on B in Eastward direction (F1) =27 N


    Force exerted by body C on B in Eastward direction (F2) = 27 N
    Resultant or Net force on object B = F1+ F2= 27 N + 27 N= 54 N
    Resultant direction of movement of object B is Eastward direction.

    Homework-
    1. Look at these pictures and comment on
    what you can tell about liquid pressure.
    2. Collect at least 10 images to show the effect of
    force on anything and stick in your notebook
    on the blank page. Also mention what is the
    effect shown in each image.
    3. A rubber or plastic suction hook sticks on the
    smooth surfaces but not on rough surfaces. Give
    reason.
    4. Which one is better a needle or a knife, to stitch a cloth? Why? (HOTS)
    5. Draw the diagram and write in short about a U-Tube Manometer.
