Question

A steering wheel of diameter 0.5 m is rotated anti clockwise by applying two forces each of magnitude 6N. , calculate the moment of the forces applied

Answer 1

Explanation:

Given data:

Diameter of wheel "d" = 0.5 m

Magnitude of force = 5.N

To find: moment of force "F" = ?

Solution:

Moment of couple = Either of force x Couple arm

Moment of couple = 5 N x 0.5 m

Moment of couple = 2.5 N-m

Thus the moment of force applied is 2.5 N-m
