1. Which of the following items does not involve a lever? Give a reason for your answer. se | x stapler wheelbarrow traffic cone scissors 2. Give an everyday example of an application of the lever, using a labelled diagram, showing the fulcrum and at least one force acting on the lever. 3. The door handle is an application of a lever The labels and arrows show three points. Which of the points A, B or C represent (i) The fulcrum (taming point) (ii) The point where the smallest force will open the door lock. Boulder 4. The crowbar in the diagram acts as_—-Crowbar a lever and applies a turning force on the boulder (large rock). Answer the questions which follow with reference to the points A, B and C in the diagram, (i) Which of the three points, A, B or C, is the fulcrum (the point about which the turning force acts)? (ii) At which of the three points, A, B or C, will the least force be needed to move the boulder? Give a reason for your answer. Define moment of a force. 6. State the law of the lever. 7. A uniform metre stick, suspended at its mid- 1 point is balanced as showa. a 3 Calculate force X. 3N x 10, iL 13. 14, A metre stick is suspended from its centre of gravity which is at its midpoint. A force of 3 N acts on the stick at the 90 cm mark and a force of F newtons acts on the stick at the 20 cm mark. Calculate force F What is a lever? Give two other examples of a lever. A wrench 30 cm long is used by a mechanic to tun a aut, If the force he exerts on the end is 5 newtons, Calculate the moment of the force. A boy held a book of weight 50 newtons in his fully outstretched hand, at a distance of $0 em away. Calculate the moment of the force. A wrench 50 cm long is used to tum a nut. If the force exerted on the other end of the wrench is 20 N calculate the moment of the force. Beyonce weighs 500 N and is sitting at one end of a see-saw which is 4 m long and balanced in the middle. Jordan is 2000 N. Where should she sit in order to balance the see-saw? A metre stick is balance in the middle and has a force of 8 N hanging from the 20 cm mark, What force needs to hang from the 60 cm mark in order to balance the metre stick?
