Question

The SI unit of torque is newton-meter

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

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. Since SI unit of Force is newton(N) and that of distance is meter(m).
3. $$\begin{gathered} Momentofforce=Force\times perpendiculardis\tan cebetweenthepivotandthepointofapplicationoftheforce \\ Momentofforce=N\times m \end{gathered}$$

Hence, the given statement is true
