(D) None
14.Why is it easier to move water through a hose than grease?
(A) Since grease is slippery, it actually moves easier than water.
(B) Water has less viscosity than grease and thus less fluid friction.
(C) Because you would never move grease through a hose in the first place.
(D) None.

(C) In the direction opposite to the direction of motion. (D) None of these.
18.The effect of frictional force may be minimized by:
(A) Using a smooth object. (B) Using a smooth plane.
(C) Providing a lubricant at the surface of contact. (D) All of these.
19.A car slips on a wet road because
(A) Water increases the friction between the road and the tyres.
(B) It is not possible to apply brakes on a wet road.
(C) The friction between the brakes shoes and the wheels is reduced.
