  8. 4 x 1 = 4
  9. Force acting on a given area is called pressure.

    (a) True
    (b) False
  10. A body will sink if the weight of the body is greater than the buoyant force.

    (a) True
    (b) False
  11. Friction is the only reason for the loss of energy.

    (a) True
    (b) False
  12. Using barometers, one can measure the height of a building.

    (a) True
    (b) False
  13. 3 x 2 = 6
  14. Give two examples to verify that a force tends to change the static condition of a body.

  15. Name two instruments, which help to measure the pressure of a fluid.

  16. Which has greater viscosity, oil or honey? Why?

  17. 3 x 3 = 9
  18. How do sailors protect their ship during a heavy storm?

  19. Is there any possibility of making a special device to measure the magnitude of friction directly?

  20. A bubble rises from the bottom of a pond to its surface by increasing its radius by 3 times its value when it was at the bottom. Calculate the depth of the pond. (Hint: Pressure depends on the depth of the pond. Volume is inversely related to pressure.) [Science Olympiad]
