What is the SI unit of the moment of force?
A nut is opened by a wrench of length 20 cm. If the least force required is 2N, find the moment of force needed to loosen the nut.
Write the expression for the moment of force about a given axis of rotation.
A, B and C are the three forces each of magnitude 4 N acting in the plane of the paper as shown in Figure. The point O lies in the same plane.

- Which force has the least moment about O? Give a reason.
- Which force has the greatest moment about O? Give a reason.
- Name the forces producing
(a) Clockwise
(b) anticlockwise moments. - What is the resultant torque about the point O?
A wheel of diameter 3 m is shown in fig. 2 with axle at 0. A force F = 8 N is applied at Q in the direction shown in figure. Calculate the moment of force about:
(i) centre o, and
(ii) point p.

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.

(i) What do you understand by the term couple of forces?
(ii) Calculate the moment of a couple shown in fig.

State one factor on which the magnitude of a non-contact force depends. How does the magnitude of a non-contact force change along with distance?
Write the expression for calculating the moment of force about a given point.
