Question

Calculate the force which will produce a moment of force of 1575 dyne-cm, when the perpendicular distance between the point of application of force and the turning point is 45 cm

Answer 1

Step1: DEFINITION

Moment of force: The Moment of a force is a measure of its tendency to cause a body to rotate about a specific point or axis.

moment of force = Force X Perpendicular distance

Step2:

Given,

Moment of force =1575 Dyne-cm

perpendicular distance =45 cm

Moment of force = Force X Perpendicular distance

1575 Dyne-cm =Force X 45 cm

Force=35 Dynes

Conclusion:

Therefore the applied force will be equal to 35 dynes
