What do you mean by the clockwise and anti-clockwise moment of force?
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?
The figure shows two forces each of magnitude 10 N acting at the point A and B at a separation of 50 cm, in opposite directions. Calculate the resultant moment of two forces about the point.
- A,
- B and
- O situated exactly at the middle of the two forces.
