Answer:
(a) Squeezing a piece of lemon between the fingers to extract its juice- fingers are the force exerting agent, lemon is the object, and lemon juice is the effect of force being exerted.
(b) Taking out paste from a toothpaste tube- hands are the force exerting agent, toothpaste tube is the object, coming out of toothpaste is the effect of force being exerted.
(c) A load suspended from a spring while its other end is on a hook fixed to a wall- suspended load is the force exerting agent, spring is the object, spring elongation is the outcome of force being exerted.
(d) An athlete making a high jump to clear the bar at a certain height- athlete is the force exerting agent, bar is the object , high jump is the outcome of the force being exerted.
