22. Assertion : Railways tracks are laid on small sized wooden sleepers. Reason : Small sized wooden sleepers are used so that rails exert more pressure on the railway track. Due to which rail does not leave the track

21. Assertion : paper pins are made to have pointed end. Reason : Because pointed pins have very smalll area due to which even for small applied force it exert large pressure on the surface.

19. Assertion : A block of wood is floating in a tank containing water. The apparent weight of the floating block is equal to zero. Reason : Because the entire weight of the block is supported by the buoyant force (the upward thrust) due to water.

15. Assertion : The viscosity of liquid increases rapidly with rise of temperature. Reason : Viscosity of a liquid is the property of the liquid by virtue of which it opposes the relative motion amongst its different layers.
