Question

The momentum of a force of 10N about a fixed point O is 5 Nm. Calculate the distance of the point O from the line of action of the force.

Answer 1

1/2 m
Because moment = force x distance
5Nm = 10 N x distance
Distance = 5Nm/10N
= 1/2m

Answer 2

Moment of force =10 m

Fixed point is at 5 N m

we know,

distance =moment/force

=5 N m/10 N

= 1/2 m

= 0.5 m
