Question

A body is pivoted at a point. A force of 10N is applied at a distance of 1.4m from the pivot. Calculate the moment of force from the pivot ​

Answer 1

Given

• F = 10 N
• r = 1.4 m

To Find

• Moment of force

Solution

We know that

→ τ = F x r

Here

• τ = Moment of force
• F = Force
• r = Distance

Units

• τ = Newton metre (N m)
• F = Newton (N)
• r = metre (m)

According to the question

We are asked to find the moment of force

Therefore

We must find "τ"

Given that

• F = 10 N
• r = 1.4 m

Substituting the values

We get

→ τ = 10 x 1.4 N m

Therefore

→ τ = 14 N m

Hence

Moment of force = 14 N m

Answer 2

Answer:-

$\small \bf \underline{Given:}$

★★ Force applied on the body = 10 N

★★ Distance of the body from the pivot = 1.4 m

$\small \bf \underline{To \: find:}$

We need to find the moment of force from the pivot

$\small \bf \underline{Solution:}$

»Moment of force (M) = Force (F) × perpendicular distance of force from pivot (r)

=> M = 10 N × 1.4 m

=> M = 14 Nm

Answer : The moment of force from the pivot = 1.4 Nm
