Moment from Force and Moment Arm
Easymomentslever arm
A 10 N force has a perpendicular distance of 0.4 m from its line of action to a point. What is its moment magnitude about that point?
- A2 N·m
- B4 N·m
- C10 N·m
- D25 N·m
Show solutionHide solution
Answer: B. 4 N·m
Moment magnitude equals force times perpendicular lever arm: M = Fd = 10 × 0.4 = 4 N·m.
