Pressure ( Solution of Modern Graded Science, class 10)


Qno 2
c. Two drums of the same size and height are taken.

 i. What will be the difference in liquid pressure on their bases if A of them is completely filled and B is filled half and kept at the same place.

A will have more pressure on its base and B will have pressure half of A if they are kept in the same place.

 

ii. What will be the difference in liquid pressure on their bases if both A and B are filled with water completely but one of them is kept in Lumbini and another in Pokhara? Why?

The drum which is kept in Lumbini will experience more pressure. Because the pressure of a liquid is directly proportional to the value of g and the value of g is more at Lumbini than at Pokhara.

 

iii. What will be the difference in liquid pressure on their base if A is filled with water and B is filled with salty water and kept at Biratnagar in the same position? Why?

B will have more liquid pressure because the density of the salty water is greater than the water.

 

 

d. When a body is fully or partially immersed in a liquid, name the forces acting on the body.

When a body is fully or partially immersed in liquid, the force acting on a body are:

i.  Weight of body acting vertically downward

ii. The upthrust on the body acting vertically upward.

 

 

f. Write definitions yourself.

     Differences between:

 



 

g. The experiment proves Archimedes' principle.

 

h. According to the law of floatation the weight of water displaced by the ship must be 5 x 10⁵ N.

 


K. We can prove the occurrence of atmospheric pressure by performing different experiments. One of the experiments is a tin can experiment.

In this experiment, a tin can filled with less than one-third of the water is taken and is allowed to heat until the water boils. As the water boils the lid of the can is closed and is cooled by pouring cold water. After a certain time, the tin can crushes. This is due to the presence of atmospheric pressure.



QN 3

Differentiate between:

A.


B.


C.

Air pump

         Water pump

1. It is a device used to pump air in stoves,    balloons, balls, bicycles, etc.

1. It is a device used to pump underground water.

2. When the piston is pushed down the air is released.

2. When the piston is pulled up (by pushing down the handle) the water is released from the spout.


D.

Downstroke

        Upstroke

1. When the handle of a water pump is lifted up, the piston is pushed down. It is a downstroke.

1. When the handle is pushed down, it lifts the piston up. It is upstroke.

2. In this condition, water between the two valves moves above the upper valve.

2. In this condition, water comes out from the spout.



4. Give reasons.

a. It is easier to pull a bucket of water from a well until it is inside the water but difficult when it is out of water.

Water exerts upthrust on the bucket which reduces weight of the bucket. Outside water there is very less upthrust of air. Thus, the force required to pull a bucket when immersed in water is less than that required to pull when it is out of water.

 

 

b. A bucket of water is filled faster in the downstair's tap than in the upstair's tap.

Water tanks are kept on the roof of a building. The downstairs taps have more depth. Since liquid pressure increases with depth, in domestic water supply, the pressure on the ground floor is higher than the upstairs and hence a bucket of water is filled faster in the downstair's tap than in the upstair's tap.

 

c. The blood pressure in human body is greater at the feet than at the brain.

This is because the depth of the feet from the heart is more than the depth of the brain. Since P=dgh (where d-density, g-acceleration due to gravity and h-depth], it implies that pressure is more in the feet where h is more and it is less in the brain where h is less.

 

 

d. Deep-sea divers wear diving suits.

Liquid pressure increases with increase in depth of the liquid, so the large liquid pressure is exerted on the diver. So, to bear this large liquid pressure, the sea divers wear diving suits.

 

e. An egg floats on salty water.

Density of an egg is higher than the density of pure water but it is less than the density of saturated salt solution. The salt solution exerts more upthrust on the egg than the pure water due to its more density. It makes the egg float.

 

 

f. An iron nail sinks in water but a ship made of the same material floats on it.

According to law of floatation, the object which displaces liquid equal to its own weight floats in liquid. In case of an iron nail, it has less surface area. Due to this, the weight of water displaced by an iron nail in less than the weight of the iron nail. So, it sinks in water. In case of ship, it has very wide surface area. Due to this the weight of water displaced by the ship is equal to the weight of the ship. So, the ship floats in water.

 

 

g. It is easier to swim in an ocean than in a river.

Upthrust is directly proportional to the density of the liquid. Sea water has a greater density than river water. Thus, upthrust experienced by a swimmer in sea water is comparatively more than in river water. So, it is much easier to swim in the sea water.

 

 h. Water cannot be used in a barometer.

Water cannot be used in barometer because it’s density is lower than Mercury . Water’s density is 1000 gram per cubic meter, hence it requires a barometer whose height is around 11 meters which is practically impossible.

 

i. The washer of an air pump is used with grease/oil.

Washer of an air pump is used with lubricants because the washer works as a piston as well as a valve. In flexible condition only, it can expand and contract to work properly. The smooth lubricant also reduces friction between the piston and the cylinder.

 

j. A water pump cannot lift water more than 10 metre high from the earth's surface.

It is because a water pump is based on the principle of atmospheric pressure. Atmospheric pressure cannot push up water more than 10 metre or even higher in the water pump.




5. Diagrammatic questions

a. In the diagram, a body, ABCD is placed in water. Study the diagram and answer following questions.

I. On what surface of the body, will pressure be the maximum and why?

The pressure will be maximum on the surface CD because of more depth.

II. On what level, will thrust be the maximum?

Explain why?

Upthrust will be greater on surface CD because of more depth.

 

 

b. Answer the following questions on the basis of the diagram given below.

 i. Is there any difference in upthrust of water at B and C ?

Upthrust is greater at C than at B because C has more depth than B.

 

i.  Why is the wall made thicker at the bottom?

Wall is made thicker in the bottom because there is more pressure in the bottom. In order to hold the large pressure the wall is made wider in the bottom.

 

 

 

c. Densities of some of the substances are given in the table. Answer the following questions on the basis of them.

i. If equal masses of all are taken, which one will have the largest volume?

Z will have more volume because density is inversely proportional to volume.

 

 ii. If all have equal volume, which one will have least mass?

Z will have least mass  as density is directly proportional  to  mass. 

 

ii.                 Among the substances, which one will float on water?

Z will float on water because its density is less than the density of water.

 

 

 

d. In the diagram, the weight of a stone in air and in water are shown, where the weight of the beaker is 1N. Study the diagram and answer the following questions.

i. Find upthrust due to water and weight of the liquid displaced.

Upthrust due to water = 10 N – 7 N = 3N

Weight of liquid displaced =upthrust = 3N

 

ii. Write the conclusion of the experiment.

 This experiment proves that the weight of liquid displaced is equal to the upthrust.

 

iii. State the principle can be verified by the experiment.

The principle verified by the experiment states that, " When a body is partially or wholly immersed in a liquid, it experiences an upthrust equal to the weight of the liquid displaced by it."

 

 

e. Study the diagram and answer the following questions.

i. What is shown in the diagram?

A water pump is shown in the diagram

 

ii. Label the parts A and E.

The name of part A is valve and E is cylinder.

 

iii. Is it downstroke or upstroke? How do you identify the condition?

It is upstroke because water is coming out from the spout.

 

iv. Which part is the spout?

Part D is the spout.

 

v.  Which part blocks the water of the pump from going back into the source of water?

Part A blocks the water of the pump from going back into the source of water.




F. Numericals.

a. Calculate the pressure exerted by a mercury column of 76 cm high at its bottom. Given that the density of mercury is 13600 kg/m³ and g= 9.8 m/s².




b. The depth of water in a rectangular tank is 6 m. Find pressure exerted by water at the bottom of it (g= 10 m/s², density of water= 1000 kg m⁻³).

 

Given

Depth of rectangular tank (h) = 6m

Acc due to gravity (g) = 10 ms⁻²

Density of Water (d) = 1000 Kg m⁻³

Pressure (P) =?

 

We know

Pressure = dgh

                 = 1000 x 10 x 6

                 = 60000 Pascal

                 = 6 x 10⁴ Pascal

Hence pressure exerted by water is 6 x 10⁴ Pascal.



c. The depth of a circular well is 5 m. Water level is below 2 m from the upper face of the wall. Find the pressure at its base? (g = 9.8 m/s²)

Given,

Depth of circular well = 5m

Depth of circular well having Water in it (h) = 5m – 2m = 3m

Acc due to gravity (g) = 9.8 ms⁻²

Density of Water (d) = 1000 Kg m⁻³

 

We Know,

Pressure = dgh

                = 1000 x 9.8 x 3

                = 29400 Pa

                = 2.94 x 10⁴ Pa

Hence Pressure is 2.94 x 10⁴ Pa.



d. The weight of a piece of stone when fully immersed in water is 18 N and it displaces 4 N of water. What is the weight of the stone in air?

Given,

Weight of Stone in Water (Ww) = 18 N

Weight of Water displaced = 4 N

 Weight of Stone in Air (Wa) =?

 

We Know,

Upthrust (U) = Weight of Water displaced

                       = 4 N

Also,

Upthrust = Wa - Ww

Or, 4 = Wa – 18

Or, Wa = 18 + 4

             = 22N

Hence Weight of Stone in air is 22N.

 

 

e. Calculate the pressure exerted by a mercury column of height 75 cm at its bottom. Given that the density of mercury is 13600 kg/m3 and g= 10 m/s².

f. A cube of wood of volume of 0.2 m³ and density 600 kg/ m3 is placed in a liquid of density 800 kg/m3. What fraction of the volume of the wood be immersed in the liquid?

Given

Volume of Wood (V₁) = 0.2 m³

Density of Wood (d₁) = 600 Kg/m³

Fraction of wood in liquid (V₂/V₁) =?

Density of liquid (d₂) = 800 Kg/m³

We Know

According to Law of Floatation,

            W₁ = W₂

Or, M₁ x g = M₂ x g

Or, d₁ x V₁ = d₂ x V₂                (Density = M/V)

Or, 600 x V₁ = 800 x V₂

Or,  

       800

Or, 600  = V₂

       800     V₁

 

      V₁     4                  




g. A block of wood of mass 24 kg floats on water. The volume of the wood is 0.032 m³. Find the volume of the block below the surface of the water and the density of the wood. (density of water- 1000 kg/m³).

Given

Mass of Wood (M₁) = 24 Kg

Volume of Wood (V₁) = 0.032 m³

Density of Wood (d₁) =?

Density of water (d₂) = 1000 Kg/m³

 

We Know,

According to Law of Flotation,

             W₁ = W₂

Or, M₁ x g = M₂ x g

Or, M₁ = d₂ x V₂

Or, 24 = 1000 x V₂

Or, 24    = V₂

     1000

 

Or, V₂ = 0.024 m³


Also,

Density of Wood = 

of wood

                               =     24      

                                    0.032

                               = 750 Kg/m³

 

Hence the volume of block under water is 0.024 m³ and density of wood is 750 Kg/m³.

 

 

 h. A 15 cm long cube made of oak floats in water with 10.5 cm of its depth below the surface and with its sides vertical. What is the density of the cube? (density of water = 1000 kg/m³)

 

Given,

In cubical oak

Length (l) = 15cm

Length of oak inside water (lin) = 10.5 cm


Volume of 

oak inside water(V1) =(15 x 15 x 10.5) cm³

                                      = 2362.5 cm³


Density of water (d₁) =1000 kg/m³= 1 g/cm³

Volume of oak (V2) = (15 cm)³ = 3375 cm³

Density of oak (d₂) =?


We know that,

Volume of 

water displaced (V1)= mass of water displaced

                                                      Density of water (d₁)  

 

Or, 2362.5 = mass of water displaced

                                          1

Or, mass of water displaced = 2362.5 gm

Or, Mass of oak = 2362.5 gm

 

Density of oak (d₂) =       mass of oak         

                                     Volume of oak (V2)

             

                                 = 2362.5

                                      3375

                                = 0.7 gm/cm3

                                = 700 kg/m3

Hence density of oak is 700 kg/m3.

 



i. Calculate the mass of displaced water when a piece of 30 cm thick iceberg with surface area 1000 cm2 floats on water (density of ice 0.9 g/cm³ and density of water = 1 gm/cm³).

Here,

Surface area of iceberg (A) =1000 cm2

Thickness of iceberg (t) = 30 cm

Density of ice (d1) = 0.9 gm/cm³

Density of water (d2) = 1 gm/cm³

 

Now,

Volume of iceberg (V) = A x t

                                         = 1000 cm2 x 30 cm

                                         = 30000 cm³

 

Mass of iceberg (m) = d1 × V

                                     = 0.9 × 30000

                                     =27000 gm

                                     =27 kg

 

Mass of water displaced by iceberg =  mass of iceberg =27 kg

 

Hence, the mass of water displaced is 27 kg.

k. A piece of stone with its volume 400 cm³ and density 7.8 x 10³ kg /m³ is immersed totally in water of density 1000 kg/m³. Calculate the weight of the stone in air and the upthrust of water.

 

Volume of stone (V1) = 400 cm³ 

                                       =       400    

                                            1000000

                                       = 4  x 10⁻⁴ m³

Density of stone (d1) = 7.8 x 10³ kg /m³

Density of water (d2) = 1000 kg/m³

Mass of stone in air (m₁) = V1 x d1

                                             = 4  x 10⁻⁴  x 7.8 x 10³

                                             = 31.2 x 10⁻⁴⁺³

                                             = 31.2 x 10⁻¹

                                             =  3.12 kg

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 10 ms⁻²

We know that,

Weight of stone in air (W) = m₁g   

                                               = 3.12 x 10

                                               = 31.2 N

Also,

Upthrust of water (U) = V1 x d2 x g

                                       = 4  x 10⁻⁴ x 1000 x 10

                                       = 4  x 10⁻⁴ x 10⁴

                                       = 4 N

Hence the weight of stone in air is 31.2N and upthrust of water is 4 N.
