Turning Moments With Answers-Year 10

This physics worksheet involves calculating moments and forces using levers. In question 1, students are asked to (a) state the moment equation, and using it, calculate the force needed for a 4.8 Nm moment. They are also asked to explain how to produce a 9.6 Nm moment. Question 2 involves (a) stating the moment equation, using it to calculate the 7 N force's moment on lever A, and (b) explaining why more than a 7N force is needed to turn lever R due to its smaller distance from the pivot. The worksheet tests understanding of moments, levers, and using the moment equation to calculate unknown forces or moments.

Physics Worksheet # 2

Semester 2
Academic Year 2018-2019

Name: ………………………………… Year: 10 Section: ……………..

Topic: Turning moments

Solve the following questions:

 Q1.
(a)  The diagram shows how a mechanic applies a force on a spanner to try to undo a bolt.

(i)  State the equation linking moment, force and perpendicular distance from the pivot.
(1)

(ii)  Calculate the force required to produce a moment of 4.8 N m.


(4)

force = ........................................................... N

(b)  The mechanic is not able to undo the bolt because a moment of 9.6 N m is needed.
Explain how the mechanic could produce a moment of 9.6 N m.

Q2.

Photograph C shows a student using an old camera that uses film.

(a) The film is pulled through the camera using lever A.


The student pushes on lever A with a force of 7.0 N.
The force is applied 0.04 m from the pivot.
(i) State the equation linking moment, force and distance.
(1)

(ii) Calculate the moment of the force that turns lever A and give the unit.
(3)

Moment = ........................................................... unit ...........................................................


(b) When all the film has been used, it is pulled back through the camera using lever R.

The force acting on lever R is only 0.02 m from its pivot.


Explain why the minimum force needed to turn lever R is likely to be more than 7 N.
