Question

STATE ONE WAY TO DECREASE THE MOMENT OF A GIVEN FORCE ABOUT A GIVEN AXIS OF ROTATION.

Answer 1

Answer:

Hence, in order to reduce this turning effect (or moment of torque), one can either reduce the force applied or decrease the distance between the line of action and axis of rotation.

Answer 2

Answer:

moment = force*perpendicular distance from the force to the pivot

Explanation:

to decrease the moment we need to decrease the distance from the force to the pivot
