Study Plan

1
Day 1–2

Learn the Theory

Read the textbook chapter carefully. Note down definitions, formulas and key ideas. Focus on: 1. Force and its effects, 2. Turning effect of force and moment of force, 3. Thrust and pressure.

2
Day 3

Practise

Solve the textbook exercises and extra practice questions. There are 43 questions available for this chapter.

Day 7

Spaced Revision

Come back to Force and Pressure after a week. Use flashcards for quick recall and try past exam questions on this chapter.

What to Focus On

  • Force can change motion, speed, direction, size, or shape.
  • A force does not change mass.
  • Force is shown by an arrow with magnitude and direction.
  • Moment of force is the turning effect of force.
  • It depends on force and perpendicular distance from the pivot.
  • Formula: Moment of force = F × OP.
  • Thrust acts perpendicular to a surface.
  • Pressure = Thrust / Area.
  • S.I. unit of pressure is pascal (Pa).

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Force changes the mass of a body.

The bigger the force, the bigger the pressure, no matter how large the area is.

Thrust and pressure mean the same thing.

Memory Tips

Force changes motion, speed, direction, size, or shape

A force does not change mass

Force is represented by an arrow

Newton is the SI unit of force
