A force of 1875 dyne acts on a rigid body, such that perpendicular distance between fulcrum and point of application of force is 20 cm. Calculate moment of force.

Open in App

Solution

Torque = Force $\times$ Perpendicular distance between Force and axis of rotation
$∴$ Torque = 1875 dyne $\times$ 20 cm= 37500 dyn.cm
