SYNOPSIS :
•
A push or pull on n body is called force .
A force rnnnot be seen. A force can be judged only by the effects.
Effect of force depend not only on the magnitude of force but also depends on the area on which it is
upplicd. An intraction of one object results in a force between the two objects.
The strength of force is usually expressed by its magnitude.
Force has both magnitude direction . If the magnitude or the direct changes the effect of force can
change.
Effects of force
• A force can change the state of motion.
• A changes is either the speed of object, or its diretion of motion, or both is described as a
change in its state of motion.
• Force can change the shape of object.
► There are various types of forces such as muscular, magnetic, electrostatic, gravitational, buoyant and
frictional.
► Contact force : It is a force applied to a body by another body that is in contact.
Ex : Muscular force, Tension, Friction, etc.,
• The force resulting due to the action of muscles is knowns as the muscular force.
• Friction force always acts on all the moving parts and its direction is always opposite to the
direction of motion.
► Non contact force : It is a force which acts on object without coming actual contact.
Ex : Gravitational force, magnetic force, electric force, etc.,
• The force which is responsible to thes fall of objects towards the earth is called Gravitational
force.
• Every object in universe! whethere small or large, exerts a force on every other object. This
force is called Gravitational force.
• The force exerted by the charged body on anether charged body (or) uncharged a body is
called Electrostatic force.

► Pressure : Pressure is the perpendicular force acting on a unit surface area. ⇒ P= F

A
► Liquids and gases apply pressure on the surfaces of the container.
► Pressure exerted by atmospheric air is called atmospheric pressure.
► Atmospheric pressure decreases with increase in height or altitude.
,, Pressure of a column of liquid depends on its depth. The more the depth of the liquid column, the
more is the pressure.
y Fluids (Liquids and gases) exert pressure in all directions.
"' Balanced and unbalanced forces :
♦
If the resultant of all forces acting on a body is zero, the forces are called balanced forces.
♦
If the resultant of all forces acting on a body is not zero, the forces are called unbalanced forces.

I. Why do fountain pen leak at higher altitudes ?
Fountain pen contain ink in their tube along with some air at the atmospheric pressure at ground level.
When this pen is taken to higher altitude the pressure outside falls. Thus, the air within the tube exerts
pressure and forces the ink out.

gravitational force.
9. Why one cam1ot suck lemonade on the surface of moon with Roda straw?
A. On the surface of earth, when suction is caused on the end of the soda Rtraw, the pressure falls within
it. Thus, atmospheric pressure forces the lemonade up the straw.
However, on the surface of moon there is no atmospheric pressure, and hence, lemonade cannot be
pushed up the straw.

LONG ANSWER QUESTIONS ·

1. Write advantages and disadvantages of force.
A. Advantages :
i) A force can move a stationary body
ii) A force can stop a moving body
iii) A force can change speed or direction of a body
iv) A force can change the size and shape of a body
Disadvantages :
i) Frictional force is responsible for wear and tear of tyres of vehicles and our shoes.
ii) Frictional force also generates heat, which can be harmful and the heat produced in moving
machines reduces their efficiency.
2. Describe an experiment to show that pressure is same at all points at the same depth.
•
A.. Take an empty tin and make several holes of equal size at the same
height and cover them with cello tape to be opened at will. Now fill the
tin up to its brim and remove the cello tape in order to open the holes.
It will be found that water from all the holes traverses equal horizontal
distance this is because of the fact that the pressure at all points is the
same at the same depth.

i... Forces acting at a distance or field forces (Non contact force): The force which acts between two
bodies when the bodies are not directly touching each other is called force at a distance or non contact
force or field force.
Examples : Gravitational force, magnetic force, electrostatic force.
i) Magnetic force : A magnet can attract or repel another magnet without contact with that magnet
this action of push or pull is refered as magnetic force. When two magnets are brought closer
we observe like poles repel each other and unlike poles attract each other.

ii) Electrostatic force : The force exerted by a charged body on another charged or uncharged
body is known as electrostatic force. This force comes into play even when the bodies are not
in contact so it is called non contact force or force at a distance or field force. There are two
types of charges in nature
I) Positive charge 2) Negative charge
Like charges repel each other and unlike charges attract each other.
