Question

Moment of force of 20 N, about a pivot is 10 N m. Calculate the distance of force from the pivot. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

The distance of force from the pivot is (1/2) m or 50 cm

Explanation:

Given:-

Force applied = 20N

Moment of force about pivot = 10N m

We know that:-

Moment of force =

applied force × distance of force applied and pivot

therefore,

distance of applied force and the pivot

= (moment of force/ applied force)

= 10Nm/20N

= (1/2)m

= 50 cm
