A force 10 N is placed 2 Meters from a pivot point, what is the moment?
- 20Nm.
- 40Nm.
- 80Nm.
Explanation from PART66Online
A moment equals force times the perpendicular distance from the pivot. Here 10 N acting 2 m from the pivot gives 10 x 2 = 20 Nm. The other answers do not follow from these figures.
