Answer:
d. 2m to the right of the pivot
Explanation:
m1 = m
m2 = 0.5m
d1 = 1m
d2 = ?
from principle of moment,
CWM = ACWM
m × 1 = 0.5m × d2
d2 = m/0.5m
= 1/0.5
= 2m
The 2nd child will have to sit 2m to the right
The turning effect of a force is known as the moment. It is the product of the force multiplied by the perpendicular distance from the line of action of the force to the pivot or point where the object will turn.
The principle of moments states that when in
equilibrium the total sum of the anti clockwise
moment is equal to the total sum of the
clockwise moment.
When a system is stable or balance it is said to be in equilibrium as all the forces acting on the system cancel each other out.
In equilibrium
Total Anticlockwise Moment = Total
Total Anticlockwise Moment = TotalClockwise Moment
Answer:
Explanation:
Given:
- area of piston on the smaller side of hydraulic lift,
- area of piston on the larger side of hydraulic lift,
- Weight of the engine on the larger side,
Now, using Pascal's law which state that the pressure change in at any point in a confined continuum of an incompressible fluid is transmitted throughout the fluid at its each point.
is the required effort force.
