Question

calculate the force which will produce a moment of 40 NM when the perpendicular distance between the point of application of force and MP pivot is 40cm

Answer 1

Answer:MOMENT= force by perpendicular distance

             FORCE=moment/distance

             FORCE=40/0.4

             FORCE=100 N

Explanation:change cm to m

Answer 2

Answer:

The force required is 100N.

Explanation:

Momentum is the product of force and the perpendicular distance between force and point of application of force.

momentum denoted by m :

$m = f \times d$

$f = \frac{m}{d}$

$force = \frac{40}{0.4}$

Force = 100N

thus, a force of 100N is required to produce a momentum of 40NM
