Question
Calculate the minimum distance between point of application of force and axis of rotation of a rigid body, if a force 125 N produces a moment of force of 25.75 Nm.

Solution
Moment of force = Force × Perpendicular distance
25.75 Nm = 125 N × Perpendicular distance
Perpendicular distance =`25.75/125` = 0.206 m.
