‘Therefore the plank will rotate anticlockwise.
[The M1 mark will not be awarded if the moments were calculated
‘without taking into consideration of the gravitational field strength, but
can be awarded if the method to calculate moments was correct with a
wrong quantity used.]

By the Principle of Moments, for the plank to be in equilibrium the sum
of clockwise moment about the pivot must be equal to the sum of
anticlockwise moment about the same pivot.”
The box, when placed at the 1 m mark on(thé right sid@; will result in a
25 Nm clockwise moment that makes the net moment zero.

Less light refracts out from the bottom of the diamond and mainly BI
leaves through the top surface, thus giving it the shiniest sparkling

3(b)()__| In order for total internal reflection to take place, light must travel BL
from an optically denser medium to an optically less dense
medium.
Since light travels from the core (X) to the cladding (Y), X must have Bi
