Sample questions
-
1.A body is pivoted at a point. A force of 10 N is applied at a distance of 30 cm from the pivot. Calculate the moment of force about the pivot.
-
2.Which statement correctly describes the principle of moments and provides a valid application of it?
- A.For a body in equilibrium, the sum of clockwise moments about any point equals the sum of anticlockwise moments about the same point. Example: Beam balance.
- B.For a body in motion, the sum of clockwise moments about any point is greater than the sum of anticlockwise moments. Example: Pulley system.
- C.The principle of moments states that moments are independent of the point of rotation. Example: Spring balance.
- D.For a body in equilibrium, the sum of forces in one direction equals the sum of forces in the opposite direction. Example: Lever.
-
3.Define moment of couple and identify its S.I. unit.
- A.The product of one force and the perpendicular distance between the forces; S.I. unit is newton-metre (Nm).
- B.The sum of two forces acting in opposite directions; S.I. unit is newton (N).
- C.The product of mass and acceleration; S.I. unit is kilogram-metre per second squared (kgm/s²).
- D.The perpendicular distance between two forces; S.I. unit is metre (m).
-
4.Why is a cart loaded with hay more likely to be upset than one loaded with an equal weight of steel?
- A.The cart with hay has a higher centre of gravity, reducing stability.
- B.Steel is heavier than hay, making the cart more stable.
- C.Hay increases the friction between the cart and the road.
- D.The cart with steel has a wider base, improving balance.
-
5.A uniform metre rule can be balanced at the 70.0 cm mark when a mass 0.05 kg is hung from the 94.0 cm mark. (a) Draw a diagram of the arrangement. (b) Find the mass of the metre rule.
