Lesson Title: Today we are learning about
What is a lever?
Remember to check for PROGRESS
Focus on Knowledge, Skills and Understanding
Success Criteria: You will show your learning by...
  1. When a force is applied offset from a pivot, the force produces a turning effect. This turning effect is known as a 'moment'.
  2. The size of a moment proprtional to two factors: -the size of the force applied -the perpendicular distance from the pivot to the line of action of the force
  3. The size of a moment is the product of the size of the force applied and the perpendicular distance from the pivot to the line of action of the force
  4. The SI units of a moment are Newton Metres (Nm), although Ncm are commonly used.

Keywords:
  • Moment: A turning effect caused by a force acting on a body not in the direction of the centre of mass of that body. (2)
  • Pivot: A point at which an object is restricted to rotational movement. (2)
  • Force (2)
  • Newtons (1)

AFL/Key Questions:
  1. What is a moment?
    A moment is the turning effect of a force?
  2. What two factors is the size of a moment proportional to?
    The size of a moment proprtional to two factors: -the size of the force applied -the perpendicular distance from the pivot to the line of action of the force
  3. What unit do we use for moments?
    The SI units of a moment are Newton Metres (Nm), although Ncm are commonly used.
