9. State one way to obtain a greater moment of a forceabout a given axis of rotation. |
|
Answer» Moment of force is also called Torque represented by It can be defined as the PRODUCT of force and perpendicular distance between the line of force and axis of ROTATION . Torque = Force × Perpendicular distance In vector FORM , The moment of force , hence , BECOMES DIRECTLY proportional to the force and perpendicular distance . Therefore , to increase moment of force , following of the two could be done : 1) The magnitude of the force could be made larger . 2) The distance between axis of rotation and line of force could be increased . SI unit of torque is Nm . |
