Question

The moment of a force of 10N about a fixed point O is 50N m. Calculate the distance of the point O from the line of action of the force.​

Answer 1

➭ Question :-

• The momentum of a force of 10N about a fixed point O is 50N m. Calculate the distance of the point O from the line of action of the force.

➭ Given :-

• Force, F = 10N
• momentum, m = 50N

➭ To find :-

• the distance of the point O from the line of action of the force

➭ Solution :-

We know,

$\longrightarrow \sf momentum = froce \times distance$

$\longrightarrow \sf 50 = distance \times 10$

$\longrightarrow \sf distance = \cancel \frac{50}{10}$

$\longrightarrow \sf distance = 5m$

Hence, the distance of the point O from the line of action of the force is 5m.
