Question

As the perpendicular distance of the application of force increases, the torque decreases.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

1. Moment of force or torque is defined as the product of the force applied and the distance between the pivot and the point of application of the force.
2. Moment force depends upon force and perpendicular distance
3. As the perpendicular distance increases more turning effect is produced hence more torque.

Hence, the given statement is false.
