Calculate the length of arm of couple, if a force of 13 N produces a moment of couple of 14.3 Nm.

उत्तर
Moment of couple = Force × Arm of couple
14.3 Nm = 13 N × Arm of couple
Arm of couple = `14.3/13`
= 1.1 m.

A half metre rod is pivoted at the centre with two weights of 20gf and 12gf suspended at a perpendicular distance of 6 cm and 10 cm from the pivot respectively as shown below.

1) Which of the two forces acting on the rigid rod causes clockwise moment?
2) Is the rod in equilibrium?
3) The direction of 20 kgf force is reversed. What is the magnitude of the resultant moment of the forces on the rod?

Calculate the resultant moment of forces about O and state its direction in fig.

Fig. 5 shows a uniform meter scale weighing 200 gf. Provided at its centre. Two weights 300 gf and 500 gf are suspended from the ruler as shown in the diagram. Calculate the resultant torque of the ruler and hence calculate the distance from mid-point where a 100 gf should be suspended to balance the meter scale.

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.
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.
