Answer 1

will be in the direction of applied force..

Answer 2

If a body turns toward the right, the moment of force will be negative.

• If a body rotates in a clockwise direction, then the moment of force will be negative.

• If the force applied to the body switches the body in an anticlockwise sense, at that time it is considered as positive. If the force applied to the body switches the body in a clockwise sense, then it is measured as negative. The path of the moment of force (torque) is given by right-hand rule.
