Question 541 Mark
Define Translational motion.
Answer
When a force acts on a rigid body which is free to move, the body starts moving in a straight line in the direction of the force. This is called translational motion.

Question 601 Mark
State and define the unit of force in the $S.I.$ system.
Answer
The unit of force in the $S. I.$ system is Newton $(N).$ Newton is defined as the force which, when applied on a body of mass $1 \ kg$ produces in it an acceleration of $1 ms^2.$

Question 641 Mark
State one factor on which the magnitude of a non-contact force depends. How does the magnitude of a non-contact force change along with distance?
Answer
The magnitude of a non-contact force depends on distance. If the magnitude of a non-contact force increasing then distance decreasing.

Question 651 Mark
A coolie, with a load of 30 kg on his head, walks on the platform. If he walks a distance of 60 m, what is the work done by him?
Answer
The work done by the coolie is zero because there is no displacement of’ the load in the direction of force, which he is applying vertically upwards.
