A-LevelPhysicsForces, density and pressureMay/June 2017Paper 1 Q121 Mark
A uniform beam is pivoted at P as shown. Weights of 10 N and 20 N are attached to its ends. The length of the beam is marked at 0.1 m intervals. The weight of the beam is 100 N. At which point should a further weight of 20 N be attached to achieve equilibrium? [Figure shows a beam pivoted at P. A 10N weight is at the left end (0.1m from P), and a 20N weight is at the right end (0.4m from P). Points A, B, C, D are marked along the beam.]
