Question

What is the turning effect of the force? Given that the perpendicular distance is 80 cm and the force is 10 N.?

Answer 1

$\:$

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.
