INSTRUCTIONS:

 Write TRUE if the statement is correct and FALSE otherwise on the space provided.
 Strictly no erasures. Any form of erasures/corrections will nullify your answers.
 For problem solving questions, write your solutions at the back of the questionnaire
and BOX final answer.
________1. Newton's Second Law states that: An object at rest will remain at rest and at object in motion will
remain in motion along a straight line unless acted upon by an external net force.
________2. An object is said to be in static equilibrium if the sum of all the forces acting in all direction and the
moments are zero.
________3. Torque or Moment of the Force is equal to the product of the force and the distance from the point
of application.
________4. The unit for Torque is Newton per meter.
________5. For the body to be rotationally stable, the sum of all the moments acting on the body must be equal
to 1.
________6. The slope of the graph in a position-time plot of a uniform motion is the velocity.
________7. A graph of a uniform motion in a position-time plot is a straight line.
________8. Given two points (x1,y1) &(x2,y2) of the graph in the position-time plot, the slope, m, can be
determined using the formula :

________9. The unit for torque can be expressed in terms of Joules (the unit for work and energy).
________10. For the same amount of torque required, the closer the force applied from the point of rotation, the
larger force is needed.
