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.For a lever, a graph is plotted with load on Y-axis and effort on X-axis. Which of the following represents the slope of the graph?
- a.Mechanical advantage
- b.Velocity ratio
- c.1 / Velocity ratio
- d.1 / Mechanical advantage
-
2.Which of the following expressions correctly represents the mechanical advantage (M.A.) of an inclined plane in terms of its length (L) and height (h)?
- A.M.A. = h / L
- B.M.A. = L * h
- C.M.A. = L / h
- D.M.A. = (L + h) / L
-
3.A woman draws water from a well using a fixed pulley. The mass of bucket and water together is 6 kg. The force applied by the woman is 70 N. Calculate the mechanical advantage. (Take g = 10 m s⁻²)
-
4.What is meant by the term mechanical advantage, and what is its unit?
- A.The ratio of effort to load; unit is newton (N).
- B.The ratio of load to effort; it has no unit (dimensionless).
- C.The product of load and effort; unit is joule (J).
- D.The difference between load and effort; unit is kilogram (kg).
-
5.What is the velocity ratio (V.R.) of a single movable pulley?
- A.1, because the effort and load move the same distance.
- B.2, because the effort moves twice the distance moved by the load.
- C.0.5, because the load moves twice the distance moved by the effort.
- D.4, because the effort moves four times the distance moved by the load.
