MCQ
On what factors does the moment of a force about a given axis depend?
  • A
    Only on the magnitude of the force
  • B
    Only on the perpendicular distance of the force from the axis
  • C
    Neither the force nor the perpendicular distance of the force from the axis
  • ✓
    Both the force and its perpendicular distance from the axis
✓

Answer

Correct option: D.
Both the force and its perpendicular distance from the axis
(d) Both the force and its perpendicular distance from the axis
Explanation:
The moment of a force (torque) about an axis is influenced by both the magnitude of the force applied and the perpendicular distance from the axis to the force's line of action, affecting its turning effect.
