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

A spanner (or wrench) has a long handle. Why?
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.

Explain the motion of a planet around the sun in a circular path.
The diagram in Fig shows two forces F1 = 5 N and F2 = 3 N acting at points A and B respectively of a rod pivoted at a point O, such that OA = 2 m and OB = 4 m.

Calculate:
- the moment of force F1 about O.
- the moment of force F2 about O.
- total moment of the two forces about O.
