Question
The moment of a force of 25 N about a point is 2.5 N m. Find the perpendicular distance of force from that point.

Solution
Moment of force = 2.5 N m
Force applied = 25
⊥ distance from the point of rotation?
Moment of force = Force × ⊥ distance
2.5 = 25 × χ
∴ x = ⊥ distance = `2.5/25 = 1/10` m
= `1/10` × 100
= 10 cm
