What is the mechanical advantage due to the load? Suppose two boys, Sahil and Yaseen are playing on a see-saw Sahil is 25m away from the fulcrum. Draw a fully labelled sketch of the two boys on the see-saw If yasins weight is GON and sahils weight is 100N, calculate : 2.2.2.1) The distance yasin is away from the fulcrum. 2.2.2.2) The mechanical advantage. THE IMPACT OF TECHNOLOGY, ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS IN FULL SENTENCES. 3.1 3.2 3.3 3.4 3.4.1 What does AMD stand for? How does AMD impact us negatively? State two reasons. How has national legislation responded to this crisis? State or name at least two laws put in place to try and prevent this from happening. The skills that indigenous miners developed is seen n the fact that by the time the European settler community arrived in south Africa, almost all surface metals and minerals had already been used up. Choose and discuss only ONE method of indigenous mining and how effective they were by using this method Page 2 of 2 (6) (3) (3) (2) (3) (4) (5) (3) [29] (2) (4) (4) (6) [16] ## Related documents - [Technology 2018 Sept P2](https://www.hlayiso.com/library/technology-2018-sept-p2/75e7b6f5-554a-4f12-9e41-cbbeeca124ae) — Technology · QP · 2018 - [Technology March 2018 1](https://www.hlayiso.com/library/technology-march-2018-1/40fb7d45-2eba-4d66-b8b9-458ffc51c9bb) — Technology · QP · 2018 - [Technology 2018 November](https://www.hlayiso.com/library/technology-2018-november/7f239636-805d-4ac9-8ccb-2445a83fe10e) — Technology · QP · 2018 - [Technology 2 Sept 2018 1](https://www.hlayiso.com/library/technology-2-sept-2018-1/54aca415-4749-4613-b593-36430d68a016) — Technology · QP · 2018 - [Grade 8 Technology November 2026 Mock Memo](https://www.hlayiso.com/library/grade-8-technology-2026-november-mock-exam-memorandum/21163cb2-92cf-4e34-b4e5-517c161dc788) — Technology · Memo · 2026 - [Technology November 2017](https://www.hlayiso.com/library/technology-november-2017/96ca387a-8205-4afa-bde5-8353c5350407) — Technology · QP · 2017 ## More from Grade 8 Technology - [CAPS SP TECHNOLOGY GR 7-9](https://www.hlayiso.com/library/caps-sp-technology-gr-7-9/62964f64-93d9-4096-912f-ec9ca278b2fa) — CAPS · Eng - [GRAAD 8 TEGNOLOGIE MEMO](https://www.hlayiso.com/library/graad-8-tegnologie-memo/b4f4a645-7f24-4362-ade2-6acb9b028ea6) — Memo · 2022 ## Collection - [Grade 8 past papers](https://www.hlayiso.com/grade-8/past-papers) --- Hlayiso: free CAPS and IEB past papers, memos, notes and study guides for South African learners.
