. A spanner of length 10 cm is used to unscrew a nut
by applying a minimum force of 5.0 N. Calculate
the moment of force required.
Answers
0.5 Newton Meter
Given:
Perpendicular Distance
= 10 centimetre
Converting the Distance to metre by dividing by 100:
= 10 / 100
= 1 / 10 Metres
Minimum Force that is applied on the spanner
= 5 Newtons
To Find:
Moment Force
Calculating:
The formula that is used to calculate the moment force of a body:
Moment Force = Perpendicular Distance x Force
Substituting all the values given to us into this formula we get:
= 1/10 x 5
= 1/2
= 0.5 Newton Meter
Therefore, the moment force which is required is 0.5 Newton Meter.
