प्रश्न
A nut is opened by a wrench of length 25 cm. If the least force required is 10 N, find the moment of force needed to turn the nut.

उत्तर
Distance = 25 cm = `25/100` = 0.25 m
Force = 10 N
Moment of force = ?
Moment of force = Force × Distance
= 10 × 0.25
= 2.5 N m

Less force is needed when applied at a farther distance from the pivoted point.
On what factors does the effect of thrust on a surface depend?
A spanner of length 10 cm is used to open a nut by applying a minimum force of 5.0 N. Calculate the moment of force required.
Two forces each of magnitude 10 N act vertically upwards and downwards respectively at the two ends A and B of a uniform rod of length 4 m which is pivoted at its midpoint O as shown in the figure. Determine the magnitude of the resultant moment of forces about the pivot O.
Fig. 5 shows a uniform meter scale weighing 200 gf. Provided at its centre. Two weights 300 gf and 500 gf are suspended from the ruler as shown in the diagram. Calculate the resultant torque of the ruler and hence calculate the distance from mid-point where a 100 gf should be suspended to balance the meter scale.
The diagram shows a uniform metre rule weighing 100gf, pivoted at its centre O. Two weights 150gf and 250gf hang from the point A and B respectively of the metre rule such that OA = 40 cm and OB = 20 cm. Calculate :
the difference of anticlockwise and clockwise moment
Define non-contact forces.
State two factors on which moment of the force about a point depends.
State when the moment of force is positive and when it is negative.
