Answer 2

Answer:

Given :-

• A body is pivoted at a point. A force of 15 N is applied at a distance of 20 cm from the pivot.

To Find :-

• What is the moment of force.

Formula Used :-

$\clubsuit$ Moment Of Force Formula :

$\mapsto \sf\boxed{\bold{\pink{Moment\: Of\: Force\: =\: Force \times Distance}}}$

Solution :-

First, we have to convert the distance cm to m :

$\implies \sf Distance =\: 20\: cm$

$\implies \sf Distance =\: \dfrac{2\cancel{0}}{10\cancel{0}}\: m$

$\implies \sf Distance =\: \dfrac{2}{10}\: m$

$\implies \sf\bold{\purple{Distance =\: 0.2\: m}}$

Now, we have to find the moment of force :

Given :

• Force = 15 N
• Distance = 0.2 m

$\longrightarrow \sf Moment\: Of\: Force =\: 15 \times 0.2$

$\longrightarrow \sf\bold{\red{Moment\: Of\: Force =\: 3\: Nm}}$

${\small{\bold{\underline{\therefore\: The\: moment\: of\: force\: is\: 3\: Nm\: .}}}}$
