Question

the moment of a force of 25 N about a fixed point O is 5 N m. calculate the distance of poijt O from the line of action of a force.​

Answer 1

• Moment of Force=5Nm
• Force=25N
• Perpendicular Distance =?

We know

$\boxed{\sf Moment\;of\:Force=Force\times Perpendicular \:Distance}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto Perpendicular\:Distance=\dfrac{Moment\:of\:Force}{Force}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto Perpendicular\:Distance=\dfrac{5Nm}{25N}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto Perpendicular\:Distance=0.2m$
