State two factors on which affect moment of force.
The moment of a force of 25 N about a point is 2.5 N m. Find the perpendicular distance of force from that point.
Give two examples of a couple's actions in our daily life.
The diagram shows two forces F1 = 5 N and F2 = 3N acting at point A and B of a rod pivoted at a point O, such that OA = 2m and OB = 4m

Calculate:

- Moment of force F2 about O
- Total moment of the two forces about O.
Classify the following amongst contact and non-contact forces.
gravitation force
A meter scale is provided at 10 cm mark and is balanced by suspending 400 g from 0 cm mark (fig.). Calculate the mass of meter scale.

Define non-contact forces.
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.
