Moments And Levers P
Overzicht
Try to shut a heavy door by pressing on it a centimetre from the hinges. You will push until your arm aches and the door will barely shift. Move your hand out to the handle, use a fraction of that effort, and the door swings closed. Nothing about the door has changed and nothing about your strength has changed. What changed is the distance, and distance is the second half of every turning problem in physics.
This lesson gives you the quantity that measures a turn: the moment of a force, worth force multiplied by perpendicular distance, measured in newton metres. You will use it to balance a beam by setting the clockwise turns against the anticlockwise ones, to work out an unknown force or an unknown distance from that balance, to predict the exact moment a crate or a bus stops leaning and starts falling, and to explain how a crowbar lets a pair of hands move a boulder that no pair of hands could ever lift.
Doelstellingen
- The turning effect of a force is called the moment. The relationship between the moment, M, turning force, F, and perpendicular distance, d, from the point where the force is applied to the pivot is: M = F ×d
- If an object is not turning, the total clockwise moment must be exactly balanced by the total anticlockwise moment about any pivot. Students should be able to calculate the size of a force, or its distance from a pivot, acting on an object that is balanced.
- If the line of action of the weight of an object lies outside the base of the object there will be a resultant moment and the body will topple. Examples should include vehicles and simple balancing toys.
- Simple levers can be used as force multipliers.

The Second Condition for Equilibrium
The second condition necessary to achieve equilibrium involves avoiding accelerated rotation (maintaining a constant angular velocity). A rotating body or system can be in equilibrium if its rate of rotation is constant and remains unchanged by the forces acting on it. To understand what factors aff

Simple Machines
Simple machines are devices that can be used to multiply or augment a force that we apply – often at the expense of a distance through which we apply the force. The word for “machine” comes from the Greek word meaning “to help make things easier.” Levers, gears, pulleys, wedges, and screws are some
