प्रश्न
A nut is opened by a wrench of length 20 cm. If the least force required is 2N, find the moment of force needed to loosen the nut.
उत्तर
According to the principle of moments, we have
Moment of load about the fulcrum = Moment of effort about the fulcrum
Load × Load arm = Effort × Effort arm
Given that the effort arm = 20 cm = 0.2 m, the minimum force E = 2 N
Therefore, the moment of load or the moment of force = 0.2 × 2 = 0.4 Nm
The moment of force needed to loosen the nut = 0.4 Nm
