QUESTION 2: MOMENTS
2.1 The force multiplied by the perpendicular distance from the fulcrum to the line
of action of the force. (2)
2.2 2.2.1 Taking moment about B
Sum of the anticlockwise moment = sum of the clockwise moment
C × 5 + 10 × 2 = 40 × 2,5 +12 × 8 + 9 × 10
C × 5=100 + 96 + 90 – 20
C= 53,2 kN
Taking moments about C
Sum of the anticlockwise moments = sum of the clockwise moments
B × 5 + 12 × 3+ 9 × 5 = 40 × 2,5 + 10 × 7
5B = 100+70 – 36 - 45
B = 17,8 kN
Test
Upward force = Downward forces
B + C = 10 + 12 + 9 +40
17,8 + 53,2 = 71 kN

QUESTION 3: FORCES
3.1 • The vectors of the forces form a closed triangle.
• The algebraic sum of the components of the forces in any direction is equal
to zero.
• The algebraic sum of the moments of the forces about any point is equal to
zero.
• The lines of action of the forces meet at a point.
• The forces or vectors are co-planar. (Any 3 × 1) (3)
3.2 Two or more forces acting on a point are in equilibrium when the point on which
they are acting is at rest or moving with constant velocity (2)

QUESTION 4: FRICTION
4.1 • Static friction opposes the initial movement.
The forces required to move the object is called static friction.
• Kinetic friction opposes the force causing the movement after the body is in
motion.
The force required to keep the object in motion is called kinetic friction.

QUESTION 5: HEAT
5.1 MxCx∆t = MxCx∆t
25 × 4187 × (t2-t1) = 9 × 390 × (t3-t2)
25 × 4187 × (t2-22) = 9 × 390 × (200 – t2)
104675 (t2-22) =3510 (200 – t2)
104675t2 – 2302850 = 702000 – 3510t2
