    1. A beam is pivoted at its center with three forces (F1, F2, F3) acting on it. F1 exerts a clockwise moment while F2 and F3 exert anticlockwise moments. To balance the beam, the distance b must be decreased. 2. On a see-saw, if a 600N person sits 3m from the pivot, a 450N person must sit a distance of 2.25m from the pivot to balance it. 3. For a see-saw to balance, the anticlockwise moment must equal the clockwise moment.

    1. A beam is pivoted at its centre. Three forces, F1, F2 and F3, act on the beam as shown in Fig. 1.1.

    Fig. 1.1. Fig. 1.2.

    a. Which of the forces exert(s)


    a clockwise moment,……………………..
    an anticlockwise moment? ………………………….
    b. When the beam is released, the right-hand side of the beam starts to go down.
    Which of the three distances, a, b or c, should be decreased in order to balance the beam? Explain your
    answer.
    Which distance? ............................................................................................................................................
    Explanation

    .........................................................................................................................................................................
    .........................................................................................................................................................................
    c. Fig. 1.2 represents a simple beam-balance with the pivot accurately at its centre.
    The person using the beam-balance puts the object to be weighed in the left-hand pan. He has a
    selection of standard masses to put in the right-hand pan, but he finds he cannot exactly balance the
    beam. His best attempts are

    Estimate the mass of the object.

    mass = ............................................. g

    2. On one side of the see-saw, there is a person weighing 600N. He is sitting 3m away from the pivot. On the
    other side, is a person weighing 450N. How far away must he sit?

    Distance =…………………………

    3. For a see-saw to balance, the anti-clockwise moment must equal the ……………………………….

    4. Another name for a pivot is a ………………………….(7 alphabets)

    5. For a see-saw to balance, the anti-clockwise ……………………… must equal the ………………………….. moment. A
    moment is another word for a turning effect. A see-saw is like a lever, turning around a …………………, also
    called a fulcrum. A lever is a simple …………………………., which amplifies the …………………….. force.
    6. The diagram 6.1 shows a light beam pivoted at one end. What is the effort required of lift the load?

    Effort = ………………………………………………..

    7. What is the force F needed to balance the bar shown in figure 7.1?

    Force = ………………………………………

    8. A light meter rule is allowed to pivot freely at the zero end as shown in figure 8.1. The other end is
    supported by a spring balance. A weight of 200 N is then hung at the 40 cm mark. The meter rule stays
    horizontal. What is the reading on the spring balance?

    reading = …………………………………

    9. A nut has been tightened by a force of 180 N using 8 cm long spanner. What length of a spanner is required
    to loosen the same nut with 150 N force.

    Length = ………………………………

    10. A boy of weight 600 N sits on sea-saw as shown at a distance of 1.5m from the pivot shown in figure 10.1.
    What is the force F required at the other end to balance the see- saw?

    Force = ……………………………………..

    11. A figure 11.1 shows a uniform meter rule pivoted at the 50 cm mark. 125g and 200g mass hang from the
    rule as shown. Calculate where you would hang a 25g mass in order to balance the rule horizontally.

    Distance = ………………………………….
