    0 1 A man is using a lever to lift a heavy rock, as shown below.

    0 1 . 1 The mass of the rock is 70 kg. Calculate its weight. Take g = 9.8 N/kg.

    Weight = ___________________ N
    [2 marks]

    0 1 . 2 Determine the minimum downwards force (F) which the man must apply
    to the end of the lever to lift the rock.

    F = ___________________ N

    0 2 The below diagram shows two of the cogs which are used inside an
    antique watch. Information on each cog is also displayed below.

    Cog Number Radius


    number of teeth (mm)

    1 10 5.0

    2 15 7.5

    0 2 . 1 A force of 0.1 N is applied to cog 1. Calculate the moment of this force


    about the centre of the cog. Include an appropriate unit with your
    answer.

    Moment = ____________________ Unit ______________

    0 2 . 2 Show that the moment (turning effect) produced about cog 2 as a result
    of this force is 50% larger than that produced about cog 1.

    0 3 A crane is being used to lift a 10 kN load on a building site.

    0 3 . 1 State the Principle of Moments.

    0 3 . 2 Calculate the mass of counterbalance required for the above crane to be


    in equilibrium. You may neglect the weight of the crane in your
    calculation, and should take the value of g to be 9.8 N/kg.

    Mass = ___________________ kg
    [4 marks]

    0 3 . 3 If the load is moved much closer to the base of the crane, the
    counterbalance might need to be adjusted. Suggest a reason why.
