उत्तर

Length r = 10 cm = 0.1 m

F = 5N

Moment of force = F x r = 5 x 0.1 = 0.5 Nm

What do you mean by the turning effect of a force?

The moment of a force of 20 N about a fixed point O is 10 Nm. Calculate the distance of the point O from the line of action of the force.

Assertion & Reasoning

  1. Assertion: The sum of the clockwise moments is equal to the sum of the anticlockwise moments.
  2. Reason: The principle of conservation of momentum is valid if the external force on the system is zero.
