Chapter 16 : Stability

exoskeleton

Part A
1. Which of the following statements is
correct about the stability of an
object?
A An object with a higher centre of
gravity is more stable
B The centre of gravity of an object
is its point of equilibrium
C An object with a wider base area
is less stable
D A lighter object is more stable
than a heavier object.

The above diagram shows four wooden

models P, Q, R and S. Which model has
the widest base area?
A P
B
Q
C R
D
S
5

2. Which of the following situations is

the most stable?
A Fixing a racing car with small
tyres
B Putting the luggage on the roof
of a car
C A boxer standing with his feet
apart when he is boxing
D All the passengers are standing
on the upper deck of a doubledecker bus
3

The Diagram below shows three

wooden blocks P, Q and R arranged on
a plank to study the stability of objects.
Lifted up

Which of the following will happen to the

wooden block if the plank is lifted up at
T?
A P will topple first because it is the
nearest to T.
B R will topple last as it has the
lowest centre of gravity.
C P will topple first because it has
the smallest base area.
D P, Q and R will topple at the
same time because they have
square base.

The Diagram shows two cans X and

Y. Can X is empty and Y is half-filled
with sand.

Can X

6 What can be used to determine the

centre of gravity of an irregular object?
A Ruler
B Plumb line
C Spring balance
D Weighing machine

Can Y
Which of the following explain about
the stability of the cans?
A Y is more stable than X.
B X is more stable than Y.
C X and Y have the same stability.
D X and Y have different centre of
gravity.

4.

The Diagram below shows a block

which placed on two wooden legs.

11 Which of the following will be affected

when the position of the centre of gravity
of an object is adjusted?
A The weight
B The height
C The stability
D The strength
12 Which of the following factor to consider
to increase the stability of a racing car?
A Size of the car.
B Type of the tyre.
C Height of the car.
D Type of the material.

Which of the following ways can

make it more stable?
A Use bigger and longer legs
B Use the lighter block and the
longer legs
C Spread the legs wider and use
heavier block
D Make the legs shorter and
spread them wider

13 The Diagram 4 shows a ropewalker

performing his action in a circus.

A small boat is carrying three

fishermen. Which of the following is
the most stable condition?
A All three fishermen sit in the
boat.
B All three fishermen stand in the
boat.
C Two fishermen stand the other
one fisherman sit.
D One of fisherman stand the other
two fishermen sit.

What is the function holding a long

pole?
A To show his talent
B To increase his stability
C To decrease his base area
D To increase his centre of gravity

14 The Diagram shows 4 different

wooden models. Arrange the
wooden models in order of
increasing stability
