What is a moment?

A moment about a point is the product of a force applied and the distance perpendicular to the line of action of that force. So M = F*d

The diagram below represents a balloon just before take-off. The balloon’s basket is attached to the ground by two fixing ropes.Calculate the tension in either of the fixing ropes.

The first and most important step is to highlight all the important information that is given in the question. Sometimes, it is very easy to miss out key numbers that you might require to get to the final...

A ball is initially at rest and is dropped from a height of 10m. Calculate the velocity of the ball when it reaches the ground

For this we need to use a SUVAT equation. S=displacement U=initial velocity V=final velocity A=acceleration T=time In the question we are give U=0m/s since the ball is at rest to start with Since the ball...

A baby in a bouncer bounces up and down with a period of 1.2s and amplitude of 90mm. Calculate the baby's maximum velocity.

Relevant equations: 1) frequency = 1/ time period; 2) v(max) = Amplitude*(2pifrequency)

First, we need to calculate the frequency of the baby's oscillation. That is, the number of times, p...

Experimentally, how would you calculate the Young's modulus of a material?

Young's modulus = stress/strain. Stress = F/A Strain= e/l. Measure the length of a wire between 2 points, placing a marker at each. Also measure the diameter to calculate the cross sectional area of the w...
