Question
Name the physical quantity whose unit is kgfm. Define it.
✓
Answer
The physical quantity is 'torque'.
Torque may be defines as the turning effect produced by a force on a rigid body about a point, pivot or fulcrum. It is measured by the product of force and the perpendicular distance of the pivot from the line of action of force.
