What to expect: This mock test covers key concepts from the Force, Turning Effects of Force, and Uniform Circular Motion 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.A body is acted upon by two unequal forces in opposite directions, but not in same line. The effect is that
- A.the body will have only the rotational motion
- B.the body will have only the translational motion
- C.the body will have neither the rotational motion nor the translational motion
- D.the body will have rotational as well as translational motion
-
2.It is easier to turn the steering wheel of a large diameter than that of a small diameter. Why?
- A.A larger diameter steering wheel provides a greater perpendicular distance from the pivot, increasing the moment for the same applied force.
- B.A larger diameter steering wheel reduces the force needed due to decreased friction between the wheel and the axle.
- C.A larger diameter steering wheel increases the speed of rotation, making it easier to turn quickly.
- D.A larger diameter steering wheel distributes the applied force over a larger area, reducing pressure on the hands.
-
3.In the diagram below, a spanner is used to loosen a tight nut. Why is a spanner with a longer handle more effective for this task?
- A.A longer handle increases the perpendicular distance from the nut, producing greater torque for the same force.
- B.A longer handle reduces the force needed to turn the nut by distributing it over a larger area.
- C.A longer handle decreases the friction between the spanner and the nut, making it easier to turn.
- D.A longer handle increases the mass of the spanner, which enhances its turning effect on the nut.
-
4.Which statement correctly describes the principle of moments and provides a valid application of it?
- A.For a body in equilibrium, the sum of clockwise moments about any point equals the sum of anticlockwise moments about the same point. Example: Beam balance.
- B.For a body in motion, the sum of clockwise moments about any point is greater than the sum of anticlockwise moments. Example: Pulley system.
- C.The principle of moments states that moments are independent of the point of rotation. Example: Spring balance.
- D.For a body in equilibrium, the sum of forces in one direction equals the sum of forces in the opposite direction. Example: Lever.
-
5.What is the magnitude of the moment of force when the perpendicular distance from the axis of rotation is zero?
- A.Zero
- B.Equal to the applied force
- C.Infinite
- D.Half the applied force
