Moment Of Force Marks : 12

Q1. Fig. 1.1 shows a device for punching holes in a piece of paper. A person applies a force F at the end
of the arm. Just before the hole is made in the paper, the arm is at rest.

(a) Just before the hole is made, the force upwards on the steel rod is 7.2 N.
Calculate the value of F. Use the distances marked on Fig. 1.1.

F = ................................................ [2]

Q2. Forces are applied to a uniform beam pivoted at its centre. Which beam is balanced?

Q3. A driver’s foot presses with a steady force of 20 N on a pedal in a car as shown.

What is the force F pulling on the piston?

1
A 2.5 N B 10 N C 100 N D 160 N

Q4. A horizontal pole is attached to the side of a building. There is a pivot P at the wall and a chain is
connected from the end of the pole to a point higher up the wall.

There is a tension force F in the chain. What is the moment of the force F about the pivot P?

Q5. Fig. 5.1 shows a crane lifting some bricks during the building of a house.

The weight of the bricks produces a turning effect, or moment, on the arm of the crane about
the point P. The weight of the bricks is 12000 N.
(a) Calculate the moment of this force, using the distance marked on Fig. 5.1.

moment = ......................................[3]
(b) (i) Explain why the counterweight is necessary.

(ii) Suggest one advantage of being able to move the counterweight along the arm. [2]

(c) Calculate the useful work done by the crane in lifting the 12000 N load through a height of 15 m.

work = ......................................[2]
