P, Q and R are three forces which act as shown in fig.
The point O lies in the same plane. Given, P = Q = R = 10N
(i) Which force has the least moment about O? Give a reason.
(ii)Which force has the greatest moment about O? Give a reason.

उत्तर
(i) Force 'R' has the least moment about 'O' because its perpendicular distance is least from 'O'.
(ii) Force 'P' has the maximum moment about 'O' because its perpendicular distance is maximum from 'O'.

A truck driver can load oil drums into the back of the truck by pushing them up a sloping plank, or by lifting them directly. Each drum has a mass of 80 kg, the plank is 3 m long, and the back of the truck is 0.8 m above the ground.
(i) How much force would be needed to lift a drum into the truck directly/without using the plank? (Take g = 10 m/s2)
