A force of 10.5 N is applied at the end of a circular disc pivoted at center. The diameter of the disc is 0.5 m, calculate the moment of force generated due to this force.
2.625 N m
Given: Force F = 10.5 N, Diameter d= 0.5 m i.e. Radius r= 0.52 =0.25 m,,
Perpendicular Distance of the force from the pivot point = 0.25 m
We know that , moment of force = Force × perpendicular distance of force from the pivot point
Therefore, Moment of force = 0.25×10.5 = 2.625 N m
