Question

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

Answer 1

◆ Answer -

Force = 20 N

◆ Explanation -

# Given -

Moment of force = 16 Nm

Perpendicular distance = 80 cm = 0.8 m

# Solution -

Moment of force produced by the body is given by formula -

Moment of force = force × perpendicular distance

16 = force × 0.8

Force = 16 / 0.8

Force = 20 N

Therefore, force applied on the body nust have been 20 N.
