To understand the concept of moment of a force and how to calculate it using a scalar formulation. The magnitude of the moment of a force with a magnitude F around a point O is defined as follows:
MO=Fd
where d is the force's moment arm. The moment arm is the perpendicular distance from the axis at point O to the force's line of action.
A stool at a restaurant is anchored to the floor. When a customer is in the process of sitting down, a horizontal force with magnitude F1 is exerted at the top of the stool support. When the customer is seated, a vertical force with magnitude F2 is exerted on the stool support. If the maximum moment magnitude that the stool support can sustain about point A is MA = 160 Nm , what is the maximum height d1 that the stool can have if the magnitudes of the two forces are F1 = 300 N and F2 = 720 N . Assume that moments acting counterclockwise about point A are positive whereas moments acting clockwise about A are negative.

On solidification from a melt, the polymer polyethylene forms a semi-crystalline spherulite structure. (i) sketch an individual spherulite and label the amorphous and crystalline regions. (ii) draw a schematic to show the changes in specific volume with temperature during cooling from the melt, comparing it to the theoretical extremes of fully crystalline and fully amorphous (indicate tm and tg)
