The larger person moving further away from the center.
Moving the smaller person closer to the center.
Moving the larger person closer to the center.
Moving the two people away from the center

State the principle of moments
When a system is in equilibrium, the sum of the total clockwise moment is less than the sum of the total anti-clockwise moment about the same pivot.
When a system is in equilibrium, the sum of the total clockwise moment is equal to the sum of the total anti-clockwise moment about the same pivot.
When a system is in equilibrium, the sum of the total clockwise moment is equal to the sum of the total anti-clockwise moment about the different pivot.
When a system is in equilibrium, the sum of the total clockwise moment is greater the sum of the total anti-clockwise moment about the same pivot.
The moment of a force causes an object to
move forward
move backward
stop moving
turn about a fixed point
Moment can be calculated using the equation:
M = F × d
M = F / d
M = F2 × d
M = F / d2
The SI unit of moment of force is –
m
N
kgf
Nm
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
A nut can be loosen more easily with
A short spanner because a large turning effect can be produced
A short spanner because a larger force can be produced.
A heavy spanner because a larger force can be produced.
long spanner because a large turning effect can be produced.
Assuming the system is in equilibrium, calculate the missing distance d

A beam lies on a pivot. If F1 = F2 the beam will..
turn clockwise
turn anti-clockwise
not turn
The further the force is from the pivot, the greater its turning effect.
