    8 A Man Uses A Uniform Plank To Lift A Block

    Uploaded by

    A man uses a plank to lift a block that weighs 1200 N. The plank is 3 m long and held horizontally with one end acting as the pivot point 0.75 m from the block. The block exerts a clockwise moment on the plank, while the man exerts a counter-clockwise moment. Using the equation for moment, the block's moment is calculated as 900 Nm and the man must exert a force of 200 N on the plank to balance the moments.
