Let's solve the question step by step. ### Step 1: Identify the S.I. unit of moment of force. - The moment of force, also known as torque, is defined as the product of the force and the distance from the point of rotation (lever arm). - The S.I. unit of force is Newton (N), and the distance is measured in meters (m). - Therefore, the S.I. unit of moment of force is Newton meter (N·m). **Answer:** The S.I. unit of moment of force is **Newton meter**. ...

Read the following paragraph and answer the questions given below , Stable equilibrium is of various types . Mechanical equilibrium is achieved when all particles are at rest and total potential energy of the system is minimum . At any stage where particles are at rest but the system is not at stable equilibrium as it can reduce its potential energy by reverting to another position, is called metastable equilibrium . Thermal equilibrium is result from the absence of temperature gradients in the system. Chemical equilibrium is obtained when no further reaction occurs between reacting substances, i.e forward and reverse rates of reaction are equal. When steam with solid iron at high temperature Fe_3O_4(s) and hydrogen gas are produced . But the reaction never goes to completion. This is because as the products are formed the reaction proceeds in reverse direction and when rate of reverse reaction is equal to rate of forward reaction , the concentration of reactants and products become constant and equilibrium is reached. The primary objective of the passage is
