MCQ
The moment of a force about axis depends : ________ .
  • A
    Only on the magnitude of force
  • B
    Only on the perpendicular distance of force from the axis
  • C
    Neither on the force nor on the perpendicular distance of force from the axis
  • ✓
    Both on the force and its perpendicular distance from the axis.
✓

Answer

Correct option: D.
Both on the force and its perpendicular distance from the axis.
The moment of a force about a given axis depends on both on the force and its perpendicular distance from the axis.

Moment of force = Force x Perpendicular distance
