Topic: Turning moments

Solve the following questions:

 Q1.
(a)  The diagram shows how a mechanic applies a force on a spanner to try to undo a bolt.

(i)  State the equation linking moment, force and perpendicular distance from the pivot.
(1)

(ii)  Calculate the force required to produce a moment of 4.8 N m.


(4)

force = ........................................................... N

(b)  The mechanic is not able to undo the bolt because a moment of 9.6 N m is needed.
Explain how the mechanic could produce a moment of 9.6 N m.

Q2.

Photograph C shows a student using an old camera that uses film.

(a) The film is pulled through the camera using lever A.


The student pushes on lever A with a force of 7.0 N.
The force is applied 0.04 m from the pivot.
(i) State the equation linking moment, force and distance.
(1)

(ii) Calculate the moment of the force that turns lever A and give the unit.
(3)

Moment = ........................................................... unit ...........................................................


(b) When all the film has been used, it is pulled back through the camera using lever R.

The force acting on lever R is only 0.02 m from its pivot.


Explain why the minimum force needed to turn lever R is likely to be more than 7 N.
