प्रश्न
A wheel of diameter 2 m is shown in the figure with the axle at O. A force F = 2 N is applied at B in the direction shown in the figure. Calculate the moment of force about
- the centre O, and
- the point A.

उत्तर
Diameter of wheel = 2 m
Radius of wheel = `2/2` = 1 m
Force applied at B = 2 N
i. Moment of force at O (clockwise)
= 2 N × 1
= 2 N m
ii. Moment of force at A (clockwise)
= 2 N × 2m
= 4 N m

The figure shows two forces each of magnitude 10 N acting at the point A and B at a separation of 50 cm, in opposite directions. Calculate the resultant moment of two forces about the point.
- A,
- B and
- O situated exactly at the middle of the two forces.
A steering wheel of diameter 0.5 m is rotated anticlockwise by applying two forces each of magnitude 6 N. Draw a diagram to show the application of forces and calculate the moment of forces applied.
Define the moment of force.
State two factors on which moment of the force about a point depends.
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?
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.
