Question

The moment of the torque of a force along a turning point is the force multiplied by the _______ distance to the force from turning point. Fill in the blank.

• A. Perpendicular
• B. Horizontal
• C. Both A and B
• D. None

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

Perpendicular

$Answer:-$ A

Torque, moment, or moment of force (see the figure) is the tendency of a force to rotate an object about an axis, fulcrum, or pivot. Just as a force is a push or a pull, a torque can be thought of as a twist to an object.

moment of the torque of a force(blue line in figure) along a turning point is the force multiplied by the perpendicular distance(red line in figure) to the force from turning point.
