Question
In Fig. a force F is applied in a direction passing through the pivoted point O of the body. Will the body rotate? Give reason to support your answer.

Solution
No, the body will not rotate as
Turning effect = Force × perpendicular distance of the force from the pivoted point.
= F × 0 = 0
perpendicular distance = 0 or force is parallel to the point of application of force.
