Question

A force of 20N is applied to a door causing a moment of 5Nm. Calculate the distance in cm from the hinge axle to the point on the door where the force was applied​

Answer 1

Answer:

(1) Moment of force means torque.

τ=force×⊥distance

τ=20×0.5

τ=10N−m

(2) τ=force×distance

τ=5×

100

10

τ=0.5N−m
