Question

Calculate the force applied on a body producing a moment of force 16Nm such that the perpendicular distance between the point of application of force and the turning point is 80 cm

Answer 1

Explanation:

moment of force= force applied * perpendicular distance

here moment of force=16Nm

perpendicular distance=80cm or 0.8m

force=moment of force / perpendicular distance

force=16/0.8

force=20N
