Question

Calculate the force which will produce a moment of 40Nm when the perpendicular distance between the point of application of force and the pivot is 8m​

Answer 1

${\huge{\boxed{\mathcal{\red{Answer}}}}}$

Force of 5N

${\huge{\boxed{\mathcal{\red{Explanation}}}}}$

Moment of force is a force that can cause a body to move on its own axis. It is also called torque.

Act, It is given that :-

Moment of force = 40nm

Length of pivot = 8m.

Force applied = F =?

Now for any body moment of force is product of force applied and legth of tool or object.

$moment \: of \: force \: = length \times force \: applied$

Thus in this case after inputting the values wrong can say :-

$40nm = f \times 8m$

After shifting 8m to R.H.S We get :

$\frac{40}{8} = f$

$f = 5newton$

Thus the force which will produce moment of force equal to 40nm is 5N.

• Moment of inertia of an object is the measure magnitude of inertia of an object required to give the body and angular acceleration.
