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

State Newton's first law of motion. Why is it called the law of inertia?
A, B and C are the three forces each of magnitude 4 N acting in the plane of the paper as shown in Figure. The point O lies in the same plane.

Give any two effects of a force on a non-rigid body.
Two unlike forces (parallel) of 10 N and 25 N act at a distance of 12 cm. from each other. Find the point about which the body balance.
Assertion & Reasoning
- Assertion: The sum of the clockwise moments is equal to the sum of the anticlockwise moments.
- Reason: The principle of conservation of momentum is valid if the external force on the system is zero.
