    Lesson 1 - Forces and Moments

    Forces and Moments Example Problems


    1. To move an object, one man pulls on it with a force of 150 newtons, while another man
    pushes in the same direction with a force of 250 newtons. How much is the resultant force
    propelling the object?
    150 N 250 N

    Resultant Force is 400 N, the sum of the 2 forces and acts in the same direction of each of
    the component forces.

    2. A force x of 30 newtons is applied towards a point, while another force y of 10 newtons


    is applied on the same point but in an opposite direction. What is the resultant force?
    X= 30 N Y= 10 N

    The resultant force is 20 N, the difference of the forces and acts in the same direction as
    the greater force.

    GG’ =
    ∆

    where,
    w = weight loaded, discharged or shifted
    d = distance from G when loaded or discharged
    d= distance between old and final position when shifted
    ∆= old displacement plus weight loaded / Old displacement – weight discharged

    1. A plank weighs 62 kilograms. What will be the shift of its center of gravity if a weight of
    38 kilograms is placed on it at a distance of 400 cm from its original center of gravity?

    Formula:
    𝑊𝑥𝐷
    GG’ =
    ∆
    38 𝑘𝑔 𝑥 400𝑐𝑚
    GG’ =
    62𝑘𝑔+38𝑘𝑔
    38 𝑘𝑔 𝑥 400𝑐𝑚
    GG’ =
    100𝑘𝑔
    GG’ = 152 cms

    2. A plank weighs 80 kilograms. What will be the shift of its center of gravity if a weight of
    48 kilograms is placed on it at a distance of 5500 cm from its original center of gravity?
    Formula:
    𝑊𝑥𝐷
    GG’ =
    ∆
    48 𝑘𝑔 𝑥 550𝑐𝑚
    GG’ =
    80𝑘𝑔+48𝑘𝑔
    48 𝑘𝑔 𝑥 550𝑐𝑚
    GG’ =

    GG’ = 206.25 cm

    Lesson 3 - Density and Specific Gravity

    Density Example Problems


    Formula:
    𝐷𝑒𝑛𝑠𝑖𝑡𝑦 𝑜𝑓 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑆𝑢𝑏𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑐𝑒
    Relative Density of a Substance =
    𝐷𝑒𝑛𝑠𝑖𝑡𝑦 𝑜𝑓 𝑊𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑟

    1. Density of Water = 1000 kg/m³


    Density of Silver = 10,500 kg/m³
    𝐷𝑒𝑛𝑠𝑖𝑡𝑦 𝑜𝑓 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑆𝑢𝑏𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑐𝑒
    Relative Density of a Silver =
    𝐷𝑒𝑛𝑠𝑖𝑡𝑦 𝑜𝑓 𝑊𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑟
    10,500 𝑘𝑔/𝑚³
    Relative Density of a Silver =
    1000 𝑘𝑔/𝑚³
    Relative Density of Silver = 10.5
    Thus, silver is denser than water. To be specific, silver is 10.5 times denser than water.

    Note:
    If the relative density is greater than 1, it will sink. If it is lesser than 1, it will float.
    Other Formulas:

    Practice Activity Solution
    1 A capstan bar is 3 meters long. Two men are pushing on the bar, each with a force of 400
    Newton. If one man is placed half-way along the bar and the other at the extreme end of
    the bar, find the resultant moment about the center of the capstan.

    Given:
    F1 = 400 Newton
    R1 = 3 Meter
    F2 = 400 Newton
    R2 = 3meters/2 = 1.5 meters

    Solution:
    Resultant Moment=(F1xR1) + (F2x R2)
    Resultant Moment = (400N x 3m) + (400N x 1.5m)
    Resultant Moment = 1200Nm + 600Nm
    Resultant Moment = 1800 Nm Clockwise
    2. A uniform plank is 6 metres long and is supported at a point under its midlength. A 10
    kg mass is placed on the plank at a distance of 0.5 metres from one end and a 20 kg mass
    is placed on the plank 2 metres from the other end. Find the resultant moment about the
    center of the plank.

    Solution:
    Clockwise Moment =20 kg x 1 meter
    Clockwise Moment =20 kg/ m

    Anti-Clockwise Moment =10 kg x 2.5 meters


    Anti-Clockwise Moment =25 kg / m resultant moment

    Resultant Moment =20kg - 25kg


    Resultant Moment= -5 kg (anti-clockwise)
    RESULTANT MOMENT = 5kg/m anti-clockwise
