Episode 203: Turning Effects
This learning episode from the Institute of Physics, uses discussion and experimental work to help students investigate the application of moments beyond the simple 'see-saw' model.
Activities lead to an application of moments to general equilibrium situations.
Students look at:
* moments and turning effects
* using the centre of gravity to find the mass of an object
* finding the position of the centre of gravity of a student
* conditions for equilibrium
* forces on a bridge
* worked examples and student questions
