    Two equal and oppositely directed forces acting on an object will be in equilibrium

    • Only if they act on the same point on the object

    • if they are separated by a distance

    • When they are balanced by a third force

    • When their moments about the same point are equal

    Correct Answer
    A. When their moments about the same point are equal
    Explanation
    Two equal and oppositely directed forces acting on an object will be in equilibrium when their moments about the same point are equal. This means that the forces are balanced and there is no net torque acting on the object. The concept of moments refers to the rotational effect of a force, and when the moments of the two forces about the same point are equal, they cancel each other out and the object remains in a state of equilibrium.

    Jack has a weight of 300 N and sits 2.0 m from the pivot of see-saw. Jill has a weight of 450 N and sits 1.5 m from pivot. Who will move down?

    • Jack

    • Jill

    • Both of them

    • None of them

    Correct Answer
    A. Jill
    Explanation
    Jill will move down because the see-saw will rotate around the pivot point due to the imbalance of weights. The torque exerted by Jill's weight is greater than the torque exerted by Jack's weight. Torque is calculated by multiplying the weight by the distance from the pivot. Since Jill's weight is greater and she sits closer to the pivot, her torque is larger, causing the see-saw to rotate in her direction and move her down.

    The diagram shows a light beam pivoted at one end. What is the effort required to lift the load? - ProProfs

    The diagram shows a light beam pivoted at one end. What is the effort required to lift the load?

    • 50

    • 67

    • 100

    • 200

    Correct Answer
    A. 50
    Explanation
    The diagram shows a light beam that is pivoted at one end. The effort required to lift the load is represented by the value of 50.

    The cone is in ____________ because if it is tilted slightly, it returns to its _______________________ - ProProfs

    The cone is in ____________ because if it is tilted slightly, it returns to its _______________________

    Correct Answer
    stable equilibrium; original position without toppling
    Explanation
    The cone is in stable equilibrium because if it is tilted slightly, it returns to its original position without toppling. This means that the cone is balanced and any small disturbance does not cause it to fall over. The cone's shape and weight distribution allow it to maintain its stability and remain upright.
