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
1 m
Which letter is the pivot?
B
Which letter shows where you should applied effort?
A
