Which of the following statements must be true?
boy’s weight = girl’s weight
distance x = distance y
moments of the girl = moments of the boy
moment of the girl > moment of the boy

A nut can be loosened more easily with
a short spanner because a larger turning effect can be produced.
a long spanner because a larger turning effect can be produced.
a long spanner because a larger force can be produced.
a short spanner because a larger force can be produced.
Jack has a weight of 300 N and sits 2.0 m from the pivot of see-saw. Jill has a weight of 450 N and sits 1.5 m from pivot. Who will move down?
Jack
Jill
Both of them
None of them
How are weight, mass and g related
W=mg
m=Wg
g=Wm
m=W/g
Assuming the system is in equilibrium, calculate the missing distance d
3.4 m
2.8 m
4.4 m
1.6 m
What is the equation for moments?
Moment = force x perpendicular distance from pivot
Moment = mass x velocity
Moment = force x distance
Moment = force x parallel distance from pivot
When an object is in equilibrium, which equation is true?
Clockwise moment = anticlockwise moment
Clockwise moment + anticlockwise moment = 0
Clockwise moment / anticlockwise moment = 0
Clockwise moment + anticlockwise moment = resultant force
Center of gravity is usually located where
more weight is concentrated
less weight is concentrated
less mass is concentrated
more mass is concentrated
