A hydraulic lift has area ratio of output to input piston 10:1. Force applied 50 N on input piston lifts weight of MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A hydraulic lift has area ratio of output to input piston 10:1. Force applied 50 N on input piston lifts weight of
A. 50 N
B. 500 N
C. 5000 N
D. 5 N
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
F1/A1 = F2/A2 => F2 = (A2/A1) F1 = 10×50 = 500 N.

Question #1
Sunlight travel time to Earth:
A. 8 hours
B. 8 seconds
C. 8 minutes
D. 8 days

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Distance ≈ 1.5×10¹¹ m, c = 3×10⁸ m/s ⇒ t = 500 s ≈ 8.3 min. Standard astronomical fact. Memory aid: 'Sunlight takes 8 minutes; we see Sun as it was 8 min ago'. Scale knowledge frequently tested in competitive exams.

B. N s
C. N m
D. J s

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Impulse = F×Δt, unit N s, same as momentum kg m/s.

Question #3
The acceleration due to gravity on Earth's surface is g. At a height equal to Earth's radius above the surface, g' will be:
A. 2g
B. g/4
C. g/9
D. g/2

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Acceleration due to gravity at height h: g' = gR²/(R+h)², where R is Earth's radius. Given h = R, so g' = gR²/(2R)² = gR²/4R² = g/4. This inverse square law dependence arises from Newton's law of gravitation. At depth, variation differs, but for height, this formula applies. Memory aid: Double the distance from center ⇒ gravity becomes one-fourth. This standard result is frequently tested in gravitation sections of competitive exams. Always verify whether height or depth is specified, as formulas differ significantly.
