Question
It is easier to turn the steering wheel of a large diameter than that of a small diameter. Given reason.
Solution
It is easier to turn the steering wheel of a large diameter than that of a small diameter because less force is applied on the steering of large diameter which is at a large distance from the centre of the rim.

Assertion & Reasoning
- Assertion: The sum of the clockwise moments is equal to the sum of the anticlockwise moments.
- Reason: The principle of conservation of momentum is valid if the external force on the system is zero.
