A see-saw is balanced on a pivot with two children on it. One child is sitting 1.5 m to the left of the pivot and has a mass of

50 kg. Another
child of mass 30 kg is sitting on the right hand side of the pivot. What distance away from the pivot is the child on the right of the pivot?

a) 30 cm
b) 1.5 m
c) 2.5 m
d) Impossible to say without knowing the length of the see-saw

If an object is not turning, the total clockwise moment, compared to the total anti-clockwise moment about any pivot, must be what?

a) Clockwise moment is twice as large as anti-clockwise moment

b) Clockwise moment is three times as large as anti-clockwise moment

c) Clockwise moment is half as large as anti-clockwise moment

d) Clockwise moment is exactly equal in magnitude to the anti-clockwise
moment

Answer:

Explanation:

Remark

This is a second class lever. It is much more efficient than the fishing pole problem. All distances are measured from the pivot in these kinds of questions.

Givens

d1 = 1.5

d2 = ?

m1 = 50 kg

m2 = 30 kg

The lighter child will have to sit further away from the pivot to make the two conditions equal.

Formula

d1*m1 = d2*m2

1.5*50 = d2 * 30

75 = 30 * d2

75/30 = d2

d2 = 2.5

Remark

Notice that the distance is longer for the lighter child. The fact that these are masses and not forces does not matter, but you should take note of it. There is a difference between masses and forces. See the fishing pole problem.

Answer to the multiple Choice question. No motion on this kind of problem means equal moments. The answer is D

Problem 2

1) The wheels are further apart making B more stable. The wider the distance the wheels are apart, the harder it would be to tip the concrete mixer over

2) The center of gravity is lower. The higher the force is the more chance you have of exerting an external force to tip the mixer over.

What is difference between non uniform and uniform circular motion?
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

The object in a uniform motion covers same distances in an equal time period. Objects in a non-uniform motion cover dissimilar distances in an equal time period.

Explanation:

The speed of the object traveling in uniform motion is constant, the actual speed and the average speed of the moving body is same.

A ski lift carries people along a 220-meter cable up the side of a mountain. Riders are lifted a total of 110 meters in elevatio
jeka94

The ideal mechanical advantage (IMA) can be determined by the following equation:

 IMA= Input distance/Output distance

 The Input distance and Output distance are:

 Input distance=220 meters

 Output distance=110 meters

 When you substitute in the equation of the ideal mechanical advantage (IMA), you obtain:

 IMA= Input distance/Output distance

 IMA= 220 meters/110 meters

 IMA=2
