A taste of the worksheet

Here are two questions from the worksheet. Download the full PDF for all 15 marks.

Question 1 · Picture-based MCQ

The image shows two identical hammers striking two nails with equal force — one nail is held with its flat blunt end on the wooden block, while the other is held with its sharp end on the block. Which nail enters the block, and why? [1]

✓ The thrust from the hammer is the same on both nails. The nail on its sharp end has a very small area of contact with the block, so pressure (= thrust / area) is much larger, driving the nail in easily. The nail on its flat end has a larger contact area and produces much less pressure, so it does not penetrate.

Question 2 · Numerical

The thrust on the bottom of a swimming pool of area 200 m² is 1.5 × 10⁶ N. Calculate the pressure on the bottom of the pool in Pa, and the pressure in kPa. [3]

Answer: Pressure = 7500 Pa = 7.5 kPa.

Formula: pressure P = F / A.

P = 1.5 × 10⁶ N / 200 m² = 7500 N m⁻² = 7500 Pa.

In kPa: P = 7500 Pa ÷ 1000 = 7.5 kPa.
