Forces (continued)
Overzicht
Push a door near its handle and it swings open easily; push near the hinge and it barely moves. That everyday difference is the turning effect of a force, or moment, and it explains spanners, see-saws, cranes and why a wide base stops you toppling over.
In this lesson you will meet friction and drag, define and calculate the moment of a force, apply the principle of moments to balance a beam, and use the centre of gravity to judge whether an object is stable. These ideas turn into reliable marks once you practise the calculations.
Doelstellingen
- Describe solid friction as the force between two surfaces that may impede motion and produce heating
- Know that friction (drag) acts on an object moving through a liquid
- Know that friction (drag) acts on an object moving through a gas (e.g. air resistance)
- Describe the moment of a force as a measure of its turning effect and give everyday examples
- Define the moment of a force as moment = force × perpendicular distance from the pivot; recall and use this equation
- Apply the principle of moments to situations with one force each side of the pivot, including balancing of a beam
- State that, when there is no resultant force and no resultant moment, an object is in equilibrium
- State what is meant by centre of gravity
- Describe an experiment to determine the position of the centre of gravity of an irregularly shaped plane lamina
- Describe, qualitatively, the effect of the position of the centre of gravity on the stability of simple objects
- [Supplement] Apply the principle of moments to other situations, including those with more than one force each side of the pivot
- [Supplement] Describe an experiment to demonstrate that there is no resultant moment on an object in equilibrium

Stability
It is one thing to have a system in equilibrium; it is quite another for it to be stable. The toy doll perched on the man’s hand in Figure 9.9 , for example, is not in stable equilibrium. There are three types of equilibrium : stable , unstable , and neutral . Figures throughout this module illustra

Drag Forces
Another interesting force in everyday life is the force of drag on an object when it is moving in a fluid (either a gas or a liquid). You feel the drag force when you move your hand through water. You might also feel it if you move your hand during a strong wind. The faster you move your hand, the h
