प्रश्न

The moment of a force of 20 N about a fixed point O is 10 Nm. Calculate the distance of the point O from the line of action of the force.
संख्यात्मक

उत्तर

Moment of force = 10 N m

Force = 20 N

Distance = ?

Moment of force = Force × Distance

10 = 20 × Distance

Distance = `10/20` = 0.5 m
