ICSE Class 10 Machines — Mock Test (2027)
Free online mock test for Machines (ICSE Class 10 Physics) — 20 competency-based questions based on the latest CISCE 2027 syllabus, with instant marking. Try the samples below, then take the full test free.
What to expect: This mock test covers key concepts from the Machines chapter — including application-based and competency-focused questions aligned with how ICSE actually sets the paper.
Tip: Attempt without notes first to identify gaps, then review explanations for any wrong answers. Retake after a few days for best retention.
Sample questions
-
1.In a block and tackle system of pulleys the load is lifted through a height of 2 m while the effort is applied for 6 m. The velocity ratio of this system is
- A.6
- B.12
- C.2
- D.3
-
2.State one reason why the mechanical advantage is less than the velocity ratio for an actual machine.
- A.Energy loss due to friction.
- B.The machine's parts are too heavy.
- C.The effort applied is insufficient.
- D.The load moves faster than the effort.
-
3.What is the mechanical advantage (M.A.) of a single fixed pulley in the ideal case?
- A.0, because no force is needed to lift the load.
- B.1, because the effort required equals the load.
- C.2, because the pulley doubles the applied force.
- D.Infinity, because the load can be lifted with negligible effort.
-
4.In a single movable pulley system a load of $250\,\mathrm{kgf}$ is lifted by an effort of $150\,\mathrm{kgf}$. Find the percentage efficiency of the system.
-
5.A single fixed pulley is used because :
- A.it multiplies effort
- B.it multiplies speed
- C.its efficiency is $100\%$
- D.it changes the direction of applied effort
