Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A crane lifts a 500 N load at a distance of 4 m from its pivot. What is the moment created at the pivot? If another load is lifted at 2 m, what would its weight need to be to maintain equilibrium?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Remember to set the moments equal first!

Question 2

Two people are on a seesaw at different distances from the pivot. If one weighs 60 kg and sits 2 m away from the pivot, while the other weighs 40 kg, how far away must the second person sit to balance the seesaw?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Set their moments equal to find the distance.
