Physics Systems of Particles and Rotational Motion MHT CET

Moment of a force of magnitude 20 N acting along positive x-direction at point (3, 0, 0) about the point (0, 2, 0) (in N-m) is

(A)20
(B)60
(C)40Correct
(D)30

Answer: (C)

Solution

The line of action is the x-axis (y = 0, z = 0), whose perpendicular distance from (0, 2, 0) is 2 m, so N-m
