Question 1 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

A uniform ladder of length 6.0 m and weight 200 N leans against a smooth vertical wall in Trinidad. The ladder makes an angle of 60° with the horizontal ground. The foot of the ladder is 3.0 m from the wall. Where does the weight of the ladder act?

  1. At the top of the ladder
  2. At the foot of the ladder
  3. At the midpoint of the ladder, 3.0 m from either end
  4. At a point 2.0 m from the foot of the ladder
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: C — At the midpoint of the ladder, 3.0 m from either end
0 m from either end. Award 1 mark for C. For a uniform body, the weight acts at the centre of mass, which for a uniform ladder is at its geometric centre (midpoint). A is incorrect — weight does not act at the top. B is incorrect — weight does not act at the foot. D is incorrect — this is not the centre of the ladder.
Question 2 · 1 mark · Difficulty 2/3

A worker at a sugar cane processing factory in St. Kitts uses a crowbar to lift a heavy metal crate. The crowbar is 1.5 m long. He applies a force of 200 N at one end, perpendicular to the crowbar. What is the moment produced about the pivot?

  1. 133 N m
  2. 200 N m
  3. 300 N m
  4. 450 N m
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: C — 300 N m
Award 1 mark for correct calculation using moment = force × perpendicular distance = 200 N × 1.5 m = 300 N m. A is incorrect — student divided instead of multiplied. B is incorrect — student forgot to multiply by distance. D is incorrect — student may have used incorrect distance value.

CXC CSEC Physics: Moments, Torque and Equilibrium FAQ

How many CXC CSEC Physics questions on Moments, Torque and Equilibrium are there on Kramizo?
Kramizo currently has 20 exam-board-aligned practice questions on Moments, Torque and Equilibrium for CXC CSEC Physics, with new questions added every week. Each question gives you instant feedback and a full examiner-style mark scheme that tells you exactly what would earn marks on a real CXC paper. The questions span the full difficulty range — from straightforward recall (level 1) right up to multi-step reasoning and evaluation (level 3) — so the bank works for first-pass revision and final exam-week stress testing alike.
Is Kramizo free for CXC CSEC students preparing for Physics?
Yes — completely free. Every student gets 45 questions a day on the free plan, with no card required and no trial countdown. That free quota works across every subject and every topic in our bank, so you can mix Moments, Torque and Equilibrium practice with other Physics topics or even switch to a totally different CXC subject without paying anything. Kramizo's optional Pro plan removes the daily cap and adds detailed progress analytics, but the free tier is the real product — used by thousands of GCSE, IGCSE and CSEC students.
Are the Moments, Torque and Equilibrium questions aligned to the official CXC CSEC Physics syllabus?
Every question is written against the published CXC CSEC Physics specification, including the exact command words (state, describe, explain, calculate, evaluate, etc.), mark allocations, and difficulty tier you'd see on a real CXC paper. Explanations are written in the style of official examiner mark schemes — they tell you what is being awarded marks and why distractors are wrong, not just whether you got it right. The bank is continually refined to match the latest syllabus updates from CXC.
How is Moments, Torque and Equilibrium typically tested on CXC CSEC Physics papers?
Moments, Torque and Equilibrium appears across multiple question types on real CXC CSEC Physics papers — most commonly as multiple-choice questions in the objective section, structured short-answer questions in the main paper, and occasionally as part of an extended response. Kramizo's practice bank reflects that mix: 4-option MCQs, true/false statements, fill-in-the-blank key terms, multi-select questions, and ordering questions. Working through the bank gives you exposure to every question style examiners actually use.
