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

Explanation:

Given that moment of force is 5 N-m about a point O when we apply a force of 10 N. We know that moment of force is given by formula rXF.

5=r×10

r=0.5m.

Hence we apply a force at a perpendicular distance of 0.5 m.
