Two upwards forces act: one of 34N 34 N which is 3.5m 3.5 m to the left of the axle, the other is 25N 25 N and is 2.6m 2.6 m to the right of the axle. There is also a 10N 10 N force to the left which is 0.80m 0.80 m below the axle.

    Answer: The object will go anticlockwise. I. e the object turns towards the left

    Explanation:

    Moment is defined as the product of force and perpendicular distance.

    Also, to achieve equilibrium, clockwise moment = anticlockwise moments

    Anticlockwise moment = 34 * 3.5 = 119 Ns

    clockwise moments = (25 * 2.6) + (10 * 0.8)

    = 65 + 8

    = 73 Ns

    Since the anticlockwise moment is greater than clockwise moments, the object will go anticlockwise. I. e the object turns towards the left
