IV When pressed, a rubber sucker gets attached to a wall. Which of the following actions is not caused by atmospheric pressure?

    A)  I                                             

    B)  II

    C)  III                                          

    D)  IV

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

      In the case of a nail being pushed into a wall, the area of contact is very small. Therefore, a huge pressure is required to push the nail into the wall. Atmospheric pressure can never be so high that it is able to push a nail into a wall. Therefore, atmospheric pressure does not play any role in action II. The correct answer is B.
