How to calculate moments with 3 separate weights of different amounts at different points?

I don't completely understand your drawing, although I can see that you certainly
did put a lot of effort into making it.  But calculating the moment is easy, and we
can get along without the drawing.

Each separate weight has a 'moment'.
The moment of each weight is: 

             (the weight of it) x (its distance from the pivot/fulcrum) .

That's all there is to a 'moment'.

The lever (or the see-saw) is balanced when (the sum of all the moments
on one side) is equal to (the sum of the moments on the other side).

That's why when you're on the see-saw with a little kid, the little kid has to sit
farther away from the pivot than you do.  The kid has less weight than you do,
so he needs more distance in order for his moment to be equal to yours.

How long will it take a plane to fly 1256km<br> if it travels 500km/hr?
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 2.51 s</h3>

Explanation:

The time taken can be found by using the formula

t =  \frac{d}{v}  \\

d is the distance

v is the velocity

From the question we have

t =  \frac{1256}{500}  \\  = 2.512

We have the final answer as

<h3>2.51 s</h3>

Discuss the force that exists between the Earth and the moon by referring to the mass of each.
Fudgin [204]
The word gravity is used to describe the gravitational pull (force) an object experiences on or near the surface of a planet or moon. The gravitational force is a force that attracts objects with mass towards each other. Any object with mass exerts a gravitational force on any other object with mass.
