प्रश्न
The perpendicular distance between the point of application of force and turning point is 1.75 m when a force of 80 N acts on a rigid body. Calculate the moment of force.

उत्तर
Force (F) = 80 N
Perpendicular distance = 1.75 m
∴ Moment of force = F × perpendicular distance
= 80 × 1.75 = 140 Nm.

A couple of 15 N force acts on a rigid body, such that arm of couple is 85 cm. Calculate moment of couple in the SI system.
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.
