Make a match.

A group


1. Fluid


2. Blunt knife


3. Sharp needle


4. Relative density


5. Hecto Pascal


B group


a. Higher pressure


b. Atmospheric Pressure


c. Specific gravity


d. Lower pressure


e. same pressure in all directions

1. Fluid – (e).same pressure in all directions


Explanation: For every point at same level in a fluid, experience same pressure in every direction.


2. Blunt knife - (d). Lower pressure


Explanation: Blunt knife has broader area. Pressure is inversely proportional to area. Thus, Blunt knife can exert only lower pressure while slicing.


3. Sharp needle - (a). Higher pressure


Explanation: Sharp needle has a very narrow tip. This means that the force applied to needle acts on very small area only. Since area which force is acting is very small, pressure will be higher.


4. Relative density – (c). Specific gravity


Explanation: Relative density is same as that of specific gravity.


Relative density (specific gravity) of an object .


5. Hecto Pascal – (b). Atmospheric Pressure


Explanation: Hecto Pascal is a unit normally used to measure the atmospheric pressure. It is a scalar quantity. SI unit of pressure is Pascal.


1 Hecto Pascal = 100 Pascal
