    Moments Turning
AI Thread Summary
Turning moments can be effectively illustrated through everyday examples such as bicycle and car wheels, which demonstrate the concept of rotational force. Other potential ideas for the poster include using examples from sports, like a basketball spinning on a finger, or natural phenomena, such as the rotation of the Earth. Visual representations can enhance understanding, so incorporating diagrams or images alongside these examples is beneficial. Engaging with the audience through relatable scenarios will make the concept more accessible. Overall, the focus should be on clear, practical applications of turning moments in daily life.

Create a poster or posters showing how turning moments may be applied in everyday life. It may be advantageous to give worked examples in each case

Can anyone give me ideas/hints on how I should go about this?

Oddly I've went there before... but thanks though.

What I'm asking for is ideas on how I should do this poster and some examples of turning moments...
 
bicycle/car wheels
 
are there any other examples or ideas for my poster?
 
I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
