Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A uniform beam weighing 100 N is 4 m long. A 50 N weight is hung at one end. Determine where to place a 25 N weight on the opposite side to keep the beam in equilibrium.

💡 Hint: Remember that the longer side will require proportionately more weight or distance.

Question 2

A lever has a pivot at one end, a load of 60 N located 1 m from the pivot, and an effort is applied 3 m from the pivot. What is the minimum force required to lift the load?

💡 Hint: Set moments on either side of the pivot equal.
