Find the moment of a 30 N force applied at 0.6 m from a pivot, at 60° to the arm. — 30 × 0.6 × sin 60° =15.6 N·m.
A uniform 5 m beam of weight 200 N carries 300 N at one end. It balances on a prop 2 m from that end. Verify by taking moments about the prop. — 300×2 = 600, weight acts 0.5 m on the other side: 200×0.5=100 ⟹ not balanced; the prop must be at x with 300x = 200(2.5 − x) ⟹ x = 4/3 m.
Two forces of 9 N form a couple with lines 25 cm apart. Find the moment. — 9 × 0.25 =2.25 N·m.
Find the C.G. of a T-shaped lamina made of a 10×2 rectangle (top) on a 2×8 rectangle (stem) centred below it. — Areas 20 and 16; take the top edge as y = 0: ȳ = (20×1 + 16×6)/36 = 116/36 ≈3.22 cmbelow the top.
A 12 kg mass hangs from two strings making 30° and 60° with the ceiling. Find the tensions. — Horizontal balance T₁cos30 = T₂cos60 and vertical T₁sin30 + T₂sin60 = 12g ⟹ T₁ =6g√3 ≈ 101.8 N, T₂ =6g ≈ 58.8 N(with g = 9.8).
A body just slides down a rough 30° plane. Find μ. — μ = tan 30° =0.577.
