Answer:
5.88 Nm
Explanation:
Applying,
Moment(M) = Force(F)×perpendicular distance(d)
M = F×d.................... Equation 1
But,
F = mg.................. Equation 2
Where m = mass, g = acceleration due to gravity.
Substitute equation 2 into equation 1
M = mgd................. Equation 3
From the question,
Given: m = 3 kg, d = 20 cm = 0.2 m
Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²
Substitute these values into equation 3
M = 3×0.2×9.8
M = 5.88 Nm
