प्रश्न
The perpendicular distance between the point of application of force and turning point is 1.75 m when a force of 80 N acts on a rigid body. Calculate the moment of force.

उत्तर
Force (F) = 80 N
Perpendicular distance = 1.75 m
∴ Moment of force = F × perpendicular distance
= 80 × 1.75 = 140 Nm.

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.

State two factors on which moment of the force about a point depends.
