  • Define " Moment "
    it's a turning effect
  • What are the units for moment?
    Nm
  • The point where the lever turns is called ____
    Pivot/fulcrum
  • The figure shows a man lifting a heavy rock using a steel bar. He pushes downwards on the end of the bar with a force F. Which pivot positions allows the force F to be as small as possible?
    A
  • the man with blue shirt has weight 800 N, his distance from the pivot is 0.8 m, to make the seesaw balance, the man with 640 N weight in red shirt needs to sit in .... m
    1 m
  • How can we increase the moment? mention 2 answer
    1.Increase the distance from the force to the pivot 2.Increase the force applied
  • How is the principle of moment help in making the beam balance?
    anti-clockwise moment = clockwise moment
  • A simple machine which consists of a beam resting on a pivot that help us carry heavy objects is called_____
    a lever
  • The picture is one of levers, what type of lever is it?
    third class levers
  • which direction of this moment?
    anti-clockwise moment
  • Bonus Point
    Bonus
  • [True or False] equilibrium is unbalanced
    False
  • How to calculate moment ?
    moment = force x distance (from pivot to the applied force)
  • from the pictures, which one is the 2nd class of lever?
    Nut Cracker (pict no 5)
  • Calculate the distance of the objects from the fulcrum if the moment is 10 Nm
