Educational Content:
- distinguish between mass and weight.
- explain the terms vector quantity and scalar quantity.
- state the units of measurement for weight and mass.
- explain the meaning of the term centre of gravity.
- obtain experimentally the location of the centre of gravity of a lamina.
- represent a force vector as a line, drawn to scale.
- state the conditions for the forces acting on a body that is in equilibrium.
- draw a free-body diagram for a body subject to several coplanar forces.
- explain the terms resultant and equilibrant of a set of forces.
- sum two force vectors using a parallelogram of forces.
- interpret a triangle of forces diagram.
- explain the use of Bow’s notation to clearly label a system of forces.
- use a triangle of forces diagram to find the resultant and equilibrant for several forces.
- define the term moment of a force and state its unit of measurement.
- distinguish between the term’s moment and torque.
- state that a moment of a force is a vector, and that it can be represented by a clockwise or anticlockwise arrow dependent on its direction and the reference point.
- state that when a body is in equilibrium, the sum of the clockwise moments is equal to the sum of the anticlockwise moments about any point.
- use a beam balance to weigh an object.
- use a link polygon to describe a system of forces acting on a body in equilibrium.
- distinguish between neutral and stable equilibrium.
- calculate the moment of an oblique force about a given point on a beam.
- distinguish between the three classes of levers and give examples of each.
- explain what is meant by the term mechanical advantage.
- explain what is meant by the term uniform distributed load, UDL.
- use the principle of moments and equilibrium of forces to find the support reactions for both point loads and UDLs.
- distinguish between the two different types of pinned supports and show how they are drawn.
- resolve a given force into two perpendicular components.
- use given information on horizontal, vertical, and oblique forces to determine whether a beam is in equilibrium.
