Question

Block X weighing 4 N is placed 8 m away from the pivot of a plank. Block Y weighing 6 N is placed 10 m

away on the other side of the pivot and the plank is then balanced by adding block Z weighing 14 N on the

same side as block X. Calculate:

i) the distance of block Z from the pivot.
ii) the distance of the block Z from Block Y​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

and d (m) is the perpendicular distance from the pivot point to the line of ... Again, the weight of the block creates a clockwise moment (turning force) that ... Q3 What force must applied to a 30 cm long spanner to generate a moment of 6.0 Nm? ... a 10 N weight is placed 2 m from the pivot point and a 40 N weight a further 4 m
