Course Work O1

1. The document contains 5 multiple choice questions about forces and turning effects. The questions cover topics like calculating mass using force and gravitational field strength, balancing forces on a meter rule, calculating vertical support forces, and describing experiments to mark the center of mass on a card. 2. Additional apparatus needed to draw lines indicating the center of mass on a card include a pivot and weights to balance the card, allowing the lines to be drawn when the card is balanced horizontally. 3. When the angle of a tilted card is small and released, it will fall clockwise back to the vertical position due to its center of mass being below the pivot point. When the angle is large, it will fall anticlockwise due

What is the weight W of the metre rule?

A 1N B 4N C 16 N D 40 N

3 The diagram shows a wheelbarrow and its load, which have a total weight of 150 N. This is
supported by a vertical force F at the ends of the handles.

5 A student performs an experiment to mark the centre of mass C on a thin piece of card. There are
two holes in the card.

Fig. 5.1 shows the card and two lines that the student draws on the card.

= hole
C = centre of mass

(a) Describe a method used to draw these two lines in their correct positions on the card.

Make clear what extra apparatus is needed. You may draw a diagram, if you wish.

(b) The student holds the card loosely between her fingers. The card is vertical, resting with its
lower edge on a bench as shown in Fig. 5.2.

The card is tilted slightly, as shown in Fig. 5.3, and then released.

C
anticlockwise clockwise

Fig. 5.3

When angle θ is small, the card falls clockwise, back to the position shown in Fig. 5.2.(i)

Explain why the card falls anticlockwise when θ is large.
