    The document describes a ruler balanced on a pivot with two balloons attached at different distances. A carbon dioxide balloon 16 cm from the pivot exerts a downward force of 0.06 N, creating a turning moment of 0.96 Ncm (counter-clockwise). For the ruler to balance with a helium balloon added at 48 cm, it must exert an upward turning moment of 4.8 Ncm and force of 0.1 N.

    14. Alex has a 100 cm ruler pivoted at the centre.

    She ties a balloon filled with carbon


    dioxide 16 cm from the pivot, as shown below.

    The total weight of the balloon and carbon dioxide is 0.06 N.

    (a) The ruler becomes unbalanced.


    Calculate the turning moment the balloon produces about the pivot on the ruler.
    Give the unit.
    (b) Alex ties another similar balloon, filled with helium, 48 cm from the pivot.
    The helium balloon exerts an upward force on the ruler. The ruler is balanced as shown below.

    (i) When the ruler is balanced, what turning moment must the helium balloon produce
    about the pivot?

    (ii) Calculate the upward force exerted by the helium balloon on the ruler.
