Practice Problems 1

Question 1.
A force of 50 dynes acts on a rigid body, such that the perpendicular distance between the fulcrum and the point of application of force is 75 cm. Calculate the moment of force.
Force F = 50 dynes
⊥ distance = 75 cm
∴ Moment of force = F × ⊥ distance
= 50 × 75 = 3750 dynecm

Question 2.
The perpendicular distance between the point of application of force and the turning point is 1.75 m, when a force of 80 N acts on a rigid body. Calculate the moment of force.
⊥ distance = 1.75 m
Force F = 80 N
∴ Moment of force = F × ⊥ distance
= 80 × 1.75 = 140.00
= 140 Nm

Practice Problems 2

Question 1.
A force of 50 N produces a moment of force of 10 Nm in a rigid body. Calculate the perpendicular distance between the point of application of force and the turning point is 45 cm.
F = 50 N
Moment of force =10 Nm
⊥ distance = ?
Moment of force = F × ⊥ dist.
10 = 50 × ⊥ distance.
∴ ⊥ distance 10/50 = 0.2 m

Practice Problems 6

Question 1.
A uniform metre scale is balanced at 60 cm mark, when weights of 5 gf and 40 gf are suspended at 10 cm mark and 80 cm mark respectively. Calculate the weight of the metre scale.

Let w be the mass of metre scale acting a mid point 50 cm
Clock wise moment = 40 × (80 – 60)
= 40 × 20 = 800 g f cm …….(i)
Anticlockwise moments
= 5 × (60 – 10) + w × (60 – 50)
(250 + 10 w) gf cm ……..(ii)
Anticlockwise moment = clock wise moment
250+ 10 w = 800
10 w= 800 -250 = 550
w = 550/10 = 55 gf

Question 2.
A uniform metre scale is balanced at 20 cm mark, when a weight of 100 gf is suspended from one end.Where must the weight be suspended ? Calculate the weight of the metre scale.

Let w be the weight of metre scale.As the scale is balanced at 20 cm and 100 gf is suspended on one end (0 mark). The weight of longer arm i.e. BC is balanced by 100 gf
∴ CW moment = A.C.W moment
W × 30 = 20 × 100
W = 2000/30 = 66.66 gf
wt. of 100 gf should be suspended at zero mark.

Question 3.      Force Class-10 Goyal Brothers
A uniform metre scale balances horizontally on a knife edge placed at 55 cm mark, when a mass of 25 g is supported from one end. Draw the diagram of the arrangement. Calculate mass of the scale.

As the metre scale is balanced at 55 cm mark i.e. large arm is balanced by arm BC and 25 g is suspended at one end i.e. at 100 cm mark
∴ Anticlockwise moment = clockwise moment
W × (55 – 50) = 25 × (100 – 55)
W = 25 × 45 / 5 = 225g

Practice Problems 7

Question 1.
A uniform metre scale of weight 50 gf is balanced at the 40 cm mark, when a weight of 100 gf is suspended at the 5 cm mark. Where must a weight of 80 gf be suspended to balance the metre scale ?

Let a wt. of 80 gf be placed at a distance x from 40 cm mark.
Clock wise moments = Anticlock wise moment
(80 × x) + 50 × (50 – 40) = 100 × (40 – 5)
80 x +500 = 3500
80 x = 3500 – 500 = 3000
x = 3000/80 = 37.5 cm
∴ A is at 40 + 37.5 = 77.5 cm mark

Question 2.
