3. Fig. 3.1 shows a barrier used at a car park. The beam can be raised and lowered by a man rotating
it about its pivot.
final exam Page 2

(a) The weight of the beam is 150N. This acts at a distance of 1.8m from the pivot as shown in
Fig. 3.1.
Calculate the moment of the weight of the beam about the pivot.
Include the correct unit in your answer.
moment of weight of beam = ................................ unit ................. [4]
(b) When the weight W of the heavy weight acts at a distance of 0.6m from the pivot, the barrier
is horizontal and balanced as shown in Fig. 3.1.
The man raises the barrier and the heavy weight slips to a distance of 0.8m from the pivot.
This causes a problem for the man trying to lower the barrier.
Describe and explain the problem this causes for the man lowering the barrier.
