Question

2. Calculate the force applied on a body producing a moment of force of 16 N m such that the
perpendicular distance between the point of application of force and the turning point is 80 cm.​

Answer 1

Dear Student,

◆ Answer -

Force = 20 N

◆ Explanation -

# Given -

Moment of force = 16 Nm

Perpendicular distance = 80 cm = 0.8 m

# Solution -

Moment of force produced by the body is given by formula -

Moment of force = force × perpendicular distance

16 = force × 0.8

Force = 16 / 0.8

Force = 20 N

Therefore, force applied on the body nust have been 20 N.

Best luck friend. Hope this was helpful to you.

Answer 2

Answer – Force = 20 N

Explanation –

Given – Moment of force = 16 nm

vertical distance = 80 cm = 0.8 m

solution – Moment of force produced by a body is given by the formula –

Moment of force = Force x vertical distance 16 = force x 0.8 force = 16 / 0.8 force = 20 N

Therefore, the force exerted on the body's nast is 20 N.
