UNIT 4 TURNING EFFECT 0F FORCES

Students Learning Outcomes ( SLOs )

Define like and unlike parallel forces. Define moment of force or torque as moment = force x perpendicular
distance from pivot to the line of action of force. Define the center of mass and center of gravity of a body. Determine the position of center of mass/gravity of regularly and irregularly shaped objects. State the two conditions for equilibrium of a body. Describe the states of equilibrium and classify them with common examples.
