Question

A plumber uses a spanner on a tap. She puts a force of 200N on the spanner 30cm from the tap. What is the size of the moment?

Answer 1

60Nm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Applied force= 200N

length of spanner= 30cm to meter

= 30/100= 0.3m

We know that the formula for the moment is

P=Fl

that is

P= force * length

P= 200*0.3

P= 60Nm

Hence the moment is 60Nm
