Question

Need help in science

Answer 1

Because the 40N weight is further away from the pivot point it will rotate counterclockwise

Answer 2

Hey there Unknown! 

So, when looking at this illustration above, we see that on the right side, there are (80)n that are turning clock wise. Now, in order for this to be (counter) clock wise would be for the other (left) side to have (n) in order for it to do that.

But in this case, this would go clock wise because the right side has more force then the left side. Which ever has more force would pretty much take over.

Your correct answer to this question would be . . . . . 

$\boxed{\boxed{It \ will \ rotate \ clockwise}}$

Hope this helps you!
