Question

a force of 750N produces a moment of force of 500 Nm. calculate the perpendicular distance between the force and the turning point..??

Answer 1

Moment of force = Force × Perpendicular Distance

Perpendicular Distance = Moment of Force / Force
= 500 Nm / (750 N)
= 2/3 m

∴ Perpendicular Distance between force and turning point is 2/3 m

Answer 2

Moment of force ( I) = Force × Perpendicular distance .

Given,
Force = 750 N.
Moment of force = 500Nm.

Now substituting,

500Nm = 750N × perpendicular distance .

Perpendicular distance = 500Nm/750N = 2/3N = 0.66m .

the perpendicular distance between the force and the turning point is 0.66m
