III.State whether the following statements are true or false. Correct the statement if it is false.
1. The linear momentum of a system of particles is always conserved.
2. Apparent weight of a person is always equal to his actual weight.
3. Weight of a body is greater at the equator and less at the polar region.
4. Turning a nut with a spanner having a short handle is so easy than one with a long handle.

IV. Match the following.
Column I
|
Column II
|
1. Newton's I law
|
a. Propulsion of a rocket.
|
2. Newton's II law
|
b. Stable equilibrium of a body.
|
3. Newton's III law
|
c. Law of force
|
4. Law of conservation of linear momentum
|
d. Flying nature of bird
|
V. Assertion and Reasoning.
1. Assertion: The sum of the clockwise moments is equal to the sum of the anticlockwise moments.
Reason: The principle of conservation of momentum is valid if the external force on the system is zero.
2. Assertion: The value of 'g' decreases as height and depth increases from the surface of the Earth.
Reason: 'g' depends on the mass of the object and the Earth.
VI. Answer briefly.

4. Differentiate between mass and weight.
5. Define moment of a couple.
6. State the principle of moments.
