It is easier to open the door by pushing it at its free end.
State one way to obtain greater moment of a given force about a given axis of rotation.
A rocket is moving at a constant speed in space by burning its fuel and ejecting out the burnt gases through a nozzle. Answer the following
1) Is there any change in the momentum of the rocket? if yes, what causes the change in momentum?
2) Is there any force acting on the rocket? if yes, how much?
A uniform metre scale can be balanced at the 70.0 cm mark when a mark when a mass 0.05 kg is hung from the 94.0 cm mark
- draw a diagram of the arrangement
- Find the mass of the metre scale
Classify the following amongst contact and non-contact forces.
gravitation force
Fig. 5 shows a uniform meter scale weighing 200 gf. Provided at its centre. Two weights 300 gf and 500 gf are suspended from the ruler as shown in the diagram. Calculate the resultant torque of the ruler and hence calculate the distance from mid-point where a 100 gf should be suspended to balance the meter scale.

Three forces A, B and C are acting on a rigid body which can turn about O in fig.9. If all the three forces are applied simultaneously, in which direction will the body move? Explain.

A uniform metre scale is balanced at a 40 cm mark when weights of 20 gf and 5 gf are suspended at 5 cm mark and 75 cm mark respectively. Calculate the weight of metre scale.
The diagram in Fig shows two forces F1 = 5 N and F2 = 3 N acting at points A and B respectively of a rod pivoted at a point O, such that OA = 2 m and OB = 4 m.

Calculate:
- the moment of force F1 about O.
- the moment of force F2 about O.
- total moment of the two forces about O.
