Question

If force of 15 n is applied perpendicular to edge of a door of 1 m find moment of force about hinge

Answer 1

Given,

Force (F) = 15 N
Edge (d) = 1 m

As we know that,

Moment of Force or Torque = F x d

=> Torque = (15 x 1) N-m

=> Torque = 15 N-m.

Answer 2

Concept

The product of the force and the perpendicular distance to a pivot is called the torque or moment of force about hinge.

Given

Force =15 n

Edge of a door=1m

Find

Moment of force bout hinge.

Explanation

We have been given force of 15 N on edge 1m.

Moment of force or torque=F*d

=(15*1)N-m

=15 N-m

Hence the moment of force or torque is 15 N-m.
