b)using any method find F2
thank you
Zoom in on it. (Just click it to enlarge it.)arildno said:I'm sorry, your attachment is illegible, at least on my screen.
A moment in physics refers to the turning effect of a force around a fixed point or pivot. It is calculated by multiplying the force by the distance between the force and the pivot point.
To solve moments problems in physics, you need to identify the forces acting on an object, determine their magnitudes and directions, and then use the principle of moments to find the net moment. This can be done by taking the sum of the clockwise moments and the sum of the counterclockwise moments and setting them equal to each other.
One example of a moments problem in physics is a seesaw with two children of different weights sitting on either end. The pivot point is in the middle of the seesaw and the goal is to find the position where the seesaw will balance.
The principle of moments, also known as the law of moments, states that for an object to be in equilibrium, the sum of the clockwise moments must equal the sum of the counterclockwise moments. This principle is based on the concept of torque, which is the rotational equivalent of force.
You can get help with solving moments problems in physics by seeking assistance from a physics tutor or by using online resources such as tutorial videos, practice problems, and forums. You can also ask your teacher or classmates for help and work together to solve the problem.
