P G7 Turning Effect of Force

1. The document contains a physics worksheet with multiple choice and essay questions about the turning effect of forces. 2. The multiple choice questions ask about calculating forces and moments in situations involving levers, beams, and doors. 3. The essay question describes a light beam supported at its center with two forces acting on it, and asks to calculate the distance of one force and the upward force from the support.
