Match the following : Group ‘A’ Group ‘B’ (i) An ox pulling a cart (a) Magnetic force (ii) Lifting a heavy iron object with a crane (b) Electrostatic force (iii) Weighing with a spring balance (c) Muscular force (iv) Applying brakes to a bicycle (d) Gravitational force (v) Picking up pieces of paper with a plastic scale (e) Frictional force

(i) An ox pulling a cart- (a) Muscular force An ox applies muscular force to pull the cart. The force applied using muscles of the body is called muscular force. (ii) Lifting a heavy iron object with a crane- (a) Magnetic force A crane uses a strong magnet to lift the heavy iron objects. Hence, the force acting is a magnetic force. (iii) Weighing with a spring balance- (d) Gravitational force The weight of an object is obtained by a spring balance. The suspended object is pulled downwards by the force of gravity, and the tension in the spring pulls the object upwards. The object comes to rest when the tension in the spring and the gravitational force on the object become equal. The scale on the spring balance shows the gravitational force acting on the object, which is the weight of the object. (iv) Applying brakes to a bicycle- (e) Frictional force Applying brakes to a bicycle make use of frictional force. The brake on the bicycle is pressed, the brake pads press on the wheel. The friction between them slows down and stops the wheels, causing the bicycle to stop. (v) Picking up pieces of paper with a plastic scale- (b) Electrostatic force A charged plastic scale can pick up small pieces of paper. This is due to the electrostatic force.
