Question

The moment of force gives us the turning effect of force.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

1. The turning effect of force is known as moment of force.
2. The moment of force is the product of the force multiplied by the perpendicular distance from the line of action of the force to the pivot or point where the object will turn.
3. Mathematically it can be given as, $Momentofforce\left(\tau \right)=Force\left(F\right)\times perpendiculardis\tan ce\left(d\right)$
4. Hence, the moment of force gives us the turning effect of force.

Therefore, the given statement is true.
