The moment of a force of 10 N about a fixed point O is 5 Nm. Calculate the distance of the point O from the line of action of the force.
We know that, moment = force × distance
⇒ 5 Nm = 10 N × distance
⇒ distance = 0.5 m
The moment of force due to a force of 10 N acting about a point O is 5 Nm. Calculate the distance of the point of application of the force from the point O.
The torque due to a force of 10 N acting tangentially about a point P is 5 N m. Calculate the distance of the point of application of the force from the point P.
