Q1. 2.7183 rounded off to 3 significant figures is:
- 2.7
- 2.718
- 2.72
- 2.71
Show the answer
Answer: C. 2.72
Keep 3 significant figures; look at the next digit — if it is 5 or more round up, otherwise leave the last kept digit unchanged. Answer: 2.72.
Q2. Two vectors of 5 N and 5 N act in opposite directions. The resultant is:
- 10 N
- 5 N
- 7.07 N
- 0 N
Show the answer
Answer: D. 0 N
Equal and opposite vectors cancel: 5 − 5 = 0.
Q3. If the value of g were doubled, the weight of a body would:
- double
- become four times
- stay the same
- halve
Show the answer
Answer: A. double
The correct answer is “double”. W = mg: W is proportional to g.
Q4. The first step in finding the CG of an irregular lamina with a plumb line is to:
- weigh the lamina
- hang the lamina freely from a pin through one hole
- cut it into squares
- measure its area
Show the answer
Answer: B. hang the lamina freely from a pin through one hole
Then hang the plumb line from the same pin.
Q5. A 75 kg object is at a height of 20 m above the ground. Its gravitational potential energy is (g = 10 N/kg):
- 150000 J
- 7500 J
- 15000 J
- 1500 J
Show the answer
Answer: C. 15000 J
The correct answer is “15000 J”. Ep = mgh = 75 × 10 × 20 = 15000 J.
Q6. A rapidly falling barometer reading usually indicates:
- no change
- clear, dry weather
- an earthquake
- stormy or rainy weather is coming
Show the answer
Answer: D. stormy or rainy weather is coming
Changes in atmospheric pressure indicate changes in weather: falling pressure often brings rain and storms; high steady pressure brings fair weather.
