Question

(A) [M¹L¹T⁻²] (B) [M¹L²T⁻²](C) [M¹L⁻¹T⁻²] (D) [M¹L¹T⁻¹] Which of the above is the moment of a force?

Answer 1

Answer

The moment of a force, also known as the torque T is defined as the force F acting at a perpendicular distance d. The dimension of moment is [M L2 T-2] which is the same as energy, however there is no direct relationship between the two. The SI unit of a moment is the Newton meter (Nm).
