Which of the following describes the moment of a force about a pivot?
The product of the force and the perpendicular distance from the pivot to the line of action of the force
The product of the mass of the object and the acceleration produced by the force
The ratio of the force to the area over which the force acts
The product of the force and the duration of time for which the force acts
245 exam-style questions on CIE IGCSE Physics 1.5 Forces, covering 1.5.1a Forces, resultant force and motion, 1.5.1b Load–extension graphs and the spring constant, 1.5.1c Friction and drag, 1.5.1d Force, mass and acceleration, 1.5.1e Motion in a circular path, 1.5.2a Moment of a force, 1.5.2b Principle of moments and equilibrium, and 1.5.3 Centre of gravity and stability. Each one has a worked solution and a mark scheme showing where the marks go.
