Solution

Definition:
Moment of force:
A measure of its tendency to cause a body to rotate about a specific point or axis.
moment of force = Force X perpendicular distance
Solution:
Given that,
Force (F)= 50 Dynes
perpendicular distance = 75 cm
Moment of force = F X Perpendicular distance
= 50 dynes X 75 cm
=375 dyne-cm
Conclusion:
Therefore, the moment of force is equal to 375 dyne-cm.
