प्रश्न
What is meant by the term ‘moment of force’? If the moment of force is assigned a negative sign then will the turning tendency of the force be clockwise or anti-clockwise?

उत्तर
It is equal to the product of the magnitude of the force and the perpendicular distance of the line of action of a force from the axis of rotation. If the moment of force is assigned a negative value, it means the clockwise tendency of force.
