Free online mock test for Machines (ICSE Class 10 Physics) — 20 competency-based questions based on the latest CISCE 2027 syllabus, with instant marking. Try the samples below, then take the full test free.

What to expect: This mock test covers key concepts from the Machines chapter — including application-based and competency-focused questions aligned with how ICSE actually sets the paper.

Tip: Attempt without notes first to identify gaps, then review explanations for any wrong answers. Retake after a few days for best retention.

Sample questions

  1. 1.A fixed pulley is driven by a 100 kg mass falling at a rate of 8.0 m in 4.0 s. It lifts a load of 75.0 kgf. Calculate : (a) the power input to the pulley taking the force of gravity on 1 kg as 10 N. (b) the efficiency of the pulley, and (c) the height to which the load is raised in 4.0 s.
  2. 2.In the diagram shown below, the velocity ratio of the arrangement is
    • a.1
    • b.2
    • c.3
    • d.0
  3. 3.In a block and tackle system consisting of 3 pulleys, a load of 75 kgf is raised with an effort of 25 kgf. Find : (i) the mechanical advantage, (ii) the velocity ratio, and (iii) the efficiency.
  4. 4.Which of the following correctly expresses the mechanical advantage of a lever?
    • A.Mechanical advantage = Load arm / Effort arm
    • B.Mechanical advantage = Effort arm / Load arm
    • C.Mechanical advantage = Effort × Load arm
    • D.Mechanical advantage = Effort arm + Load arm
  5. 5.In a single movable pulley, if the load $L$ is 20 kgf, what is the effort $E$ required to lift the load in the ideal case?
    • A.5 kgf
    • B.10 kgf
    • C.20 kgf
    • D.40 kgf
