Answer:
a. The moment of the 4 N force is 16 N·m clockwise
b. The moment of the 6 N force is 12 N·m anticlockwise
Explanation:
In the figure, we have;
The distance from the point 'O', to the 6 N force = 2 m
The position of the 6 N force relative to the point 'O' = To the left of 'O'
The distance from the point 'O', to the 4 N force = 4 m
The position of the 4 N force relative to the point 'O' = To the right of 'O'
a. The moment of a force about a point, M = The force, F × The perpendicular distance of the force from the point
a. The moment of the 4 N force = 4 N × 4 m = 16 N·m clockwise
b. The moment of the 6 N force = 6 N × 2 m = 12 N·m anticlockwise.
Explanation:
The ratio of the areas is the square of the ratio of the radii.
A/A = 3.16² = 9.99
The ratio of the volumes is the cube of the ratio of the radii.
V/V = 3.16³ = 31.6
