Question #1
Atmospheric pressure at sea level is approximately:
A. 10² Pa
B. 10⁵ Pa
C. 10⁷ Pa
D. 10³ Pa

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Standard atmospheric pressure at sea level is 101,325 Pa, approximately 10⁵ Pa (or 1 bar, 760 mm Hg). This value is crucial for pressure calculations in fluids, thermodynamics, and meteorology. Option B (1000 Pa) is too low (about 1% of atmospheric), C and D are orders of magnitude off. Memory tip: 'Atmospheric pressure ≈ 10⁵ Pa = 100 kPa = 1 bar'. This factual knowledge is frequently tested in competitive exams as a baseline for pressure-related problems. Always use SI units (Pascal) unless specified otherwise.

Question #2
Hydraulic brakes used in automobiles operate on the basis of:
A. Archimedes' Principle
B. Newton's Law of Viscosity
C. Bernoulli's Theorem
D. Pascal's Law

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Hydraulic brakes operate on Pascal's Law. It states that an external pressure applied to an enclosed, incompressible fluid is transmitted undiminished equally in all directions throughout the fluid volume. When force is applied to the small brake pedal cylinder, it exerts a large pressure that is transmitted to the larger wheel cylinders, amplifying the force.

Question #3
Atmospheric pressure at sea level is 1.013×10⁵ Pa. Equivalent height of mercury column (density 13600 kg/m³, g=9.8) is
A. 0.76 cm
B. 0.76 m
C. 7.6 m
D. 13.6 m

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
P = ρgh => h = P/(ρg) = 1.013×10⁵/(13600×9.8) ≈ 0.76 m = 76 cm.
