I swr it was 1N because it's 5 Newton's upwards and 4 Newton's downwards so resultant force is 1N

It was 1n I got 1

For the first 6 marker I wrote that it is easier to rotate smaller gear compared to harder gear. The long handle increases distance from pivot so less force is needed to produce same moment. The larger gear can support heavier load.

For the density question with the newton meters. What were the values of each newton meter? Was the difference 2N?

you had to draw a parallelogram and then connect the two vertices together then measure the length of the line I think. You cant do 5-4 because they weren't parallel to each other
