Question 14

Sebatang linggis digunakan untuk mengangkat sebuah kotak berat di bengkel. Kotak itu menekan ke bawah dengan daya 360 N pada jarak 0.4 m dari fulkrum. Pekerja itu menolak linggis pada jarak 1.2 m dari fulkrum. Berapakah daya yang diperlukan untuk mengangkat kotak itu?A crowbar is used to lift a heavy box in a workshop. The box presses down with a force of 360 N at 0.4 m from the fulcrum. The worker pushes on the crowbar 1.2 m from the fulcrum. What force is needed to lift the box?
Show answerHide answer
A
Principle of moments: load × distance of load = effort × distance of effort. 360 × 0.4 = F × 1.2, so F = 144 ÷ 1.2 = 120 N. 144 N is the moment, not the force.

Question 15

Rajah 3 menunjukkan sebuah peti berat 480 N diletakkan di atas lantai dalam dua kedudukan, P dan Q. Apakah perubahan tekanan yang dikenakan oleh peti itu ke atas lantai apabila kedudukannya diubah daripada P kepada Q?Diagram 3 shows a crate weighing 480 N placed on the floor in two positions, P and Q. What is the change in the pressure the crate exerts on the floor when its position is changed from P to Q?
A crate 0.8 m long, 0.5 m wide and 0.3 m high. In position P it lies on its 0.8 m by 0.5 m face; in position Q it stands on its 0.5 m by 0.3 m face.
Rajah 3Diagram 3
Show answerHide answer
B
Position P: area = 0.8 × 0.5 = 0.40 m², pressure = 480 ÷ 0.40 = 1 200 Pa. Position Q: area = 0.5 × 0.3 = 0.15 m², pressure = 480 ÷ 0.15 = 3 200 Pa. Change = 3 200 − 1 200 = an increase of 2 000 Pa. 3 200 Pa is the new pressure, not the change.

Question 16

Rajah 4 menunjukkan perubahan suhu secawan kopi panas yang diletakkan di dalam sebuah bilik bersuhu 28 °C. Pada suhu berapakah dan selepas berapa minit kopi itu mula mencapai keseimbangan terma dengan bilik itu?Diagram 4 shows how the temperature of a cup of hot coffee changes when it is left in a room at 28 °C. At what temperature and after how many minutes does the coffee first reach thermal equilibrium with the room?
Graph of temperature against time for coffee: 80 °C at 0 min, 58 at 10, 44 at 20, 35 at 30, 30 at 40, 28 at 50 and 28 at 60 min
Rajah 4Diagram 4
Show answerHide answer
D
At thermal equilibrium the coffee has the same temperature as the room and there is no net heat transfer, so the graph becomes flat. The line first reaches the flat part at 28 °C after 50 minutes. At 30 minutes and 40 minutes the temperature is still falling.
