    1. The document discusses calculating moments of force using examples involving a lamina with multiple forces and a balanced metre scale with two weights. 2. It also provides an example of calculating the distance of a weight from the pivot point of a balanced metre scale. 3. Another example calculates the value of an unknown weight needed to balance a metre rule pivoted on a wedge with a weight hanging from a specific mark.

    Force

    Numerical

    Moment of force (Torque)

    1. Calculate the resultant moment of the lamina shown in figure below.

    Suggested answer:

    Sum of the clockwise moments = (20 x 5) + (40 x 3) + (10 x 2) = 100 + 120 + 20 = 240 N m

    Sum of Anticlockwise moment = 100 x 4 = 400 N m

    Moment due to the force of 1000 N = 0 (the distance from the line of action to the point O being zero)

    Resultant moment = 400 N m - 240 N m = 160 N m in the anticlockwise direction.

    Thus the resultant moment will cause the lamina to turn about O in the anticlockwise direction.

    2. A metre scale is supported at the centre. It is balanced by two weights A and B as shown in figure below, find
    the distance of B from the pivot.

    Clockwise moment and anticlockwise moment about 50 cm divisions are equal.

    Suggested answer:

    Sum of the anticlockwise moments = Sum of the clockwise moments

    20 x d = 40 x 20

    800
    ∴d= = 40 cm
    20

    Hence the 20 N force of B is acting from 90 cm mark.


    3. The illustration in figure below shows a uniform metre rule weighing 30 N pivoted on a wedge placed under
    the 40 cm mark and carrying a weight of 70 N hanging from the 10 cm mark. The ruler is balanced horizontally
    by a weight W hanging from the 100 cm mark. Calculate the value of the weight W.

    Suggested answer:

    W x (100 - 40) + 30 (50 - 40) = 70 x (40 - 10)

    60 x W + 30 x 10 = 70 x 30

    60 W = 2100 - 300

    1800
    ∴ = 30 N
    60

    4. The illustration in figure below represents a metre scale balancing on a knife edge at 20 cm mark when a
    weight of 60 N is suspended from 10 cm mark. Calculate the weight of the ruler.

    Suggested answer:

    Weight of the ruler is acting from the centre of gravity of the ruler (i.e., the mid-point 50 cm)

    ∴ W x 30 = 60 x 10
    10
    ∴ W = 60 x = 20N
    30
