Two masses of mass 10.0 and 6.0 kg are hung from massless strings at the end of a light rod. The rod is virtually weightless. A pivot (fulcrum) is placed off center and the system is free to rotate. If the 6.0 kg mass is 4.0 m away from the pivot, how far away is the 10.0 kg mass if the system is not rotating?
0.42 m
2.4 m
4.8 m
4.2 m
Assuming the system is in equilibrium, calculate the missing distance d
3.4 m
2.8 m
4.4 m
1.6 m
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.
A boy of weight 600N sits on the see-saw as shown at a distance of 1.5m from the pivot. What is the force F required at the other end to balance the see-saw?
450 N
350 N
4.5 N
200 N
