4. moments

?
What is the formula for moments?
Force X the perpendicular distance from the picot point
1 of 10
How can you get the maximum moments from a spanner?
If the force is applied at a right angle (perpendicular)
2 of 10
If the anti-clockwise moments is equal to the clockwise moment what is happen to the object?
It won't move
3 of 10
What do levers do?
The increase the distance from the pivot so less force is needed
4 of 10
Give 2 examples of simple lever?
Wheelbarrows and scissors
5 of 10
What is needed for an object to be stable?
It needs a low centre of mass and a wide base
6 of 10
If the anti-clockwise moments isn't the same as the clockwise moments what is happening?
There is a resultant moment acting on the object
7 of 10
What happens to an object if it's line of action of the weight goes outside of the base?
This causes a resultant moment, so the object will tip over
8 of 10
What is the formula for time period?
1/frequency of the pendulum (Hz)
9 of 10
What does the time period of a pendulum depend on?
The length on the sting it is suspended from
