    Balancing Act

  • Calculate the total clockwise or anticlockwise moments
  • Determine if the beam is balanced
  • recall and apply the relationship moment of a force (or torque) = force × perpendicular distance from the pivot to new situations or to solve related problems
  • apply the principle of moments to new situations or to solve related problems

Pre-requisite:

Before this lesson, students should be able to:

  • Recall the formula moments = force x perpendicular distance
  • Identify the direction of moments
