Questions and Answers

What is the moment of a force about a point?

  • The division of the force and the perpendicular distance of the line of action of the force from that point
  • The product of the force and the perpendicular distance of the line of action of the force from that point (correct)
  • The subtraction of the force and the perpendicular distance of the line of action of the force from that point
  • The sum of the force and the perpendicular distance of the line of action of the force from that point

    • What is the SI unit of moment?

  • m/s (meters per second)
  • Nm (Newton meter) (correct)
  • J (Joule)
  • kg (kilogram)
