Moments _ GCSE Physics

The video tutorial explains the concept of moments, calculated by multiplying force by the perpendicular distance from the pivot. It provides examples, such as using a spanner, to demonstrate moment calculation. The tutorial also covers non-perpendicular forces, force multipliers, and balanced moments, using a wheelbarrow as an example. It concludes with an example of balanced moments, illustrating how small forces at greater distances can achieve larger forces.

How is the moment calculated when applying a force to a spanner?

What happens to the moment when the force is not applied perpendicularly?

What role do force multipliers play in reducing the effort needed to perform tasks?

Explain the concept of balanced moments using an example.

Why is it easier to close a door from the handle rather than near the hinges?
