The moment of a force of 10N about a fixed point O is 5 Nm. Calculate the distance of the point O from the line of action of the force.

Explanation

To solve the problem, we will use the formula for the moment of a force about a point. The moment (or torque) is given by the equation:

\[ \text{Moment} = \text{Force} \times \text{Perpendicular Distance} \]

Given:
- Moment of the force (M) = 5 Nm
- Force (F) = 10 N
