Moment of a force
Moment of a force
The product of a force and the perpendicular distance from the point of application of the force to the pivot point (fulcrum).
Equilibrium of a lever
Equilibrium of a lever
The state where the sum of all forces and moments acting on an object is zero, resulting in no net motion or rotation.
Work done by a force
Work done by a force
The amount of energy transferred when a force moves an object over a certain distance. It's calculated as force multiplied by distance.

Study Notes
Equilibrium of a Lever
- A lever rotates around a fulcrum.
- For equilibrium, moments (torques) on both sides of the fulcrum must be equal.
- Moment (M) = Force × Distance from fulcrum
- Moment of the load on the left side:
- Load force (F) = mass (m) × acceleration due to gravity (g)
- Moment (Mleft) = (m × g) × Distanceleft (dL)
- Moment of force on right side:
- Moment (Mright) = Forceright (FR) × Distanceright (dR)
- Equilibrium condition: Mleft = Mright
- (m × g) × dL = FR × dR
Work Done by a Force
- Work is the transfer of energy when a force moves an object a distance.
- Formula for work: W = F × d (where W is work, F is force, and d is distance moved).
- When lifting an object vertically:
- Force = weight of the load (mg)
- Distance = height (h)
- Work done to lift the load = (m × g) × h (Wlift)
