Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A 4-meter long uniform beam weighing 80 N is supported at its center and has a load of 120 N at one end. Calculate the upward force applied at the center.
💡 Hint: Analyze all forces and their moment arms carefully.
An object is balanced on a pivot point. If a force of 50 N is applied 3 m from the pivot and you need to find how far a 30 N force should be placed on the other side to keep it in equilibrium, what is the distance?
💡 Hint: Use the torque principle.
