SECTION B
Each question carries 15 marks. This section carries 45 marks of the total marks for this
paper.
6. This question is about moments.
a) Fill in the missing words:
The moment of a force depends on the size of the _____________ and its perpendicular
_______________ from the pivot.

force
sensor
block
data logger
stand

b) Amy sets up a metre rule of negligible weight such that it is pivoted at one end and is kept horizontally b
given in the table below.

i) Plot a graph of Force (N) on the y-axis against Distance (cm) on the x-axis.

ii) Amy repeats the experiment using a block of larger mass. She places it on the 40 cm mark.
Underline the correct answer.
The increase in mass will bring about:
(an increase, a decrease, no change) in the weight of the block,
(an increase, a decrease, no change) in the force measured by the force sensor,
(an increase, a decrease, no change) in the clockwise moment.

c) Alex is practising windsurfing as in Figure 9. The windsurf and
Wind force
Alex are balanced.
