Question

What force acting at a distance of 3.2m produces a moment of 18 nm? give your answer in n.

Options:
A) 5.625 N
B) 4.5 N
C) 5.625 N
D) 6 N

Answer 1

To find the force that produces a moment of 18 Nm at a distance of 3.2m, divide the moment by the distance, yielding a force of 5.625 N (Option A).

Step-by-step explanation:

The student has asked: What force acting at a distance of 3.2m produces a moment of 18 Nm? The formula to calculate the moment (torque) is given by the relation:

Torque = Force x Distance

We can rearrange this formula to solve for the force.

Force = Torque / Distance

By inserting the provided values we get:

Force = 18 Nm / 3.2 m

Force = 5.625 N

Therefore, the correct answer is Option A) 5.625 N.
