Question

Will anyone please help me solve this physics Problem?​

Answer 1

I. Clockwise moment = 150 Nm

II. Anticlockwise moment = 400 Nm

III. 200 N

III. The anticlockwise moment.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given above, we can obtain the answers to the questions as follow:

I. Determination of the clockwise moment.

Distance (d) = 1.5 m

Force (F) = 100 N

Clockwise Moment =?

Moment = Force × distance.

Clockwise moment = 100 × 1.5

Clockwise moment = 150 Nm

II. Determination of the anticlockwise moment.

Distance (d) = 2 m

Force (F) = 200 N

Anticlockwise Moment =?

Moment = Force × distance.

Anticlockwise moment = 200 × 2

Anticlockwise moment = 400 Nm

III. Determination of who will turn the sea saw.

Clockwise moment = 150 Nm

Anticlockwise moment = 400 Nm

Since the anticlockwise moment is greater than the clockwise moment, it therefore means that the anticlockwise moment will turn the sea saw.
