Week 4 Quizizz 1 Turning effect of forces

A nut can be loosened more easily with

• a short spanner because a larger turning effect can be produced.

• a long spanner because a larger turning effect can be produced.

• a long spanner because a larger force can be produced.

• a short spanner because a larger force can be produced.

What is the equation for moments?

• Moment = force x perpendicular distance from pivot

• Moment = mass x velocity

• Moment = force x distance

• Moment = force x parallel distance from pivot

When an object is in equilibrium, which equation is true?

• Clockwise moment = anticlockwise moment

• Clockwise moment + anticlockwise moment = 0

• Clockwise moment / anticlockwise moment = 0

• Clockwise moment + anticlockwise moment = resultant force
