Question

The hinge of a door is 2m from the point of application of force. if a force of 100 N acts on it,
Calculate moment of force

Answer 1

Answer:

200 Nm.

Explanation:

Moment of force:

=> Force × Perpendicular distance

>> 100 N × 2 m

>> 200 Nm

∴ 200 Nm is the moment of force

Moment of force:

• The moment of force (or torque) is equal to the product of the magnitude of the force and the perpendicular distance of the line of action of the force from the axis of rotation.

Unit of moment of force:

=> unit of force × unit of distance

=> newton × metre

S.I unit = N m

C.G.S unit = dyne cm
