Boardworks Ltd 2015 Boardworks A-Level Physics Year 1 and AS Moments and Centre of Gravity Teacher notes centre of gravity – A point on an object where the entire weight of the object seems to act. In a uniform gravitational field, it is in the same place as the centre of mass. centre of mass – A point on an object where the entire mass of the object seems to be concentrated. In a uniform gravitational field, it is in the same place as the centre of gravity. couple – A pair of forces acting on a body that are of equal magnitude and opposite direction, acting parallel to one another, but not along the same line. equilibrium – The state a body is in if no net force or moment acts on the body. fulcrum – The point about which a lever turns. Also called the pivot. moment – The turning effect of a force or forces. Can also be called the torque (symbol τ). It is calculated by multiplying the force by the perpendicular distance between the pivot and the line of action of the force. The units of moment are newton metres (Nm). pivot – The point about which a lever turns. Also called the fulcrum. principle of moments – The principle stating that the sum of the clockwise moments are equal to the sum of the anticlockwise moments acting on a body. torque – The turning effect of a force or forces, given the symbol τ. Can also be called the moment. It is calculated by multiplying the force by the perpendicular distance between the pivot and the line of action of the force. The units of torque are newton metres (Nm). torque of a couple – The rotation force or moment produced by a couple. It can be calculated by multiplying the force b
