Answer:
I. Clockwise moment = 150 Nm
II. Anticlockwise moment = 400 Nm
III. 200 N
III. The anticlockwise moment.
Explanation:
From the question given above, we can obtain the answers to the questions as follow:
I. Determination of the clockwise moment.
Distance (d) = 1.5 m
Force (F) = 100 N
Clockwise Moment =?
Moment = Force × distance.
Clockwise moment = 100 × 1.5
Clockwise moment = 150 Nm
II. Determination of the anticlockwise moment.
Distance (d) = 2 m
Force (F) = 200 N
Anticlockwise Moment =?
Moment = Force × distance.
Anticlockwise moment = 200 × 2
Anticlockwise moment = 400 Nm
III. Determination of who will turn the sea saw.
Clockwise moment = 150 Nm
Anticlockwise moment = 400 Nm
Since the anticlockwise moment is greater than the clockwise moment, it therefore means that the anticlockwise moment will turn the sea saw.
