IMA = Ideal Mechanical Advantage
First class lever = > F1 * x2 = F2 * x1
Where F1 is the force applied to beat F2. The distance from F1 and the pivot is x1 and the distance from F2 and the pivot is x2
=> F1/F2 = x1 /x2
IMA = F1/F2 = x1/x2
Now you can see the effects of changing F1, F2, x1 and x2.
If you decrease the lengt X1 between the applied effort (F1) and the pivot, IMA decreases.
If you increase the length X1 between the applied effort (F1) and the pivot, IMA increases.
If you decrease the applied effort (F1) and increase the distance between it and the pivot (X1) the new IMA may incrase or decrase depending on the ratio of the changes.
If you decrease the applied effort (F1) and decrease the distance between it and the pivot (X1) IMA will decrease.
Answer: Increase the length between the applied effort and the pivot.
Change.
Acceleration means going faster
8.1) Here, Pressure increases with depth in the ocean at higher rate then that of increase in altitude in atmosphere. So, the rate of change of pressure is different in these journeys.So, your most correct answer would be option D.
8.2) Difference in the shape of lines is due to different density of air & water. So, that physical property and your answer would be option A
So, in Short Answers of your questions are:
8.1) - Option D
8.2) - Option A
Hope this helps!
Explanation :
It is given that,
BMR i.e basal metabolic rate is 88 kcal/hr. So, BMR in watts is converted by the following :
We know that, 1 kilocalorie = 4184 joules
So, 

J/sec is nothing but watts.
So, 
and 
So, it can be seen that the body can accommodate a modes amount of activity in hot weather but strenuous activity would increase the metabolic rate above the body's ability to remove heat.
