- Adding forces along a line
- Recall and use of Moment = force x perpendicular distance from pivot
- The weight of a body acts through the centre of gravity
- The principle of moments
- The upward force on a light beam varies with the position on a heavy object placed on the beam
- How extension varies with applied force for helical springs, metal wires and rubber bands
- Hooke's Law
- Elastic behaviour
- Pressure = force / area
