Question
What do you understand by the clockwise and anticlockwise moment of force? When is it taken positive?
Solution
Clockwise moment of force: When the force moment is moving in a clockwise direction.
Anticlockwise moment: When the force acts in an anticlockwise direction.
The moment of force anticlockwise is positive.
