Question

Mechanical force is a force acting at a distance.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

1. A force that is exerted by a machine is called mechanical force.
2. For example: To push a heap of rubble, a bulldozer generates some amount of force. To exert the force there should be an interaction between the heap of rubble and the hands of a bulldozer.
3. So mechanical force is a type of contact force. This force exerted by the bulldozer is called mechanical force.

Hence, the given statement is false.
