The hinge of door is at a distance of 40 cm from the point of application of force. If a force of 20 N is applied, what is the magnitude of moment of force ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find the magnitude of the moment of force (also known as torque), we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Given Values**: - Distance from the hinge to the point of application of force (d) = 40 cm = 0.40 m (convert cm to m). - Force applied (F) = 20 N. ...
