Question

a force of 100 n acts along the tangent to a circle of diameter of 5m. then moment of the force about the centre of circle is…​

Answer 1

Answer:

Given,

Force (F) = 100N

Diameter of Circle = 5m

Radius (R) = 5/2 m

= 2.5 m

Distance from Centre (d) = 2.5 m

Case 1: Moment of Force at 2.5 m from the centre is = Fd

= 100*2.5

= 250 Nm

Case 2: Moment of Force at the centre of circle is = Fd

= 100*0

= 0 Nm

I hope this helps.
