Question

The moment of a force of 10 N about a fixed point o
is 5 N m. Calculate the distance of the point O from
the line of action of the force.
Ans. 0-5 m
​

Answer 1

Because moment = force x distance

5Nm = 10 N x distance

Distance = 5Nm/10N

= 1/2m

= 0.5 m

Answer 2

Hey there!

Answer:

0.5 m

Explanation:

Given,

Moment of force  = 5 N m

Force = 10 N

We know,

Moment of force = force * perpendicular distance.

5 = 10 * distance

distance = 5 / 10 = 0.5 m
