Homework Equations
moments=Fd
The Attempt at a Solution
60X20=50d
d=24cm
The equation for calculating moment is Moment = F × d, where F is the force applied and d is the distance from the axis of rotation.
In this problem, the moment is already given as 60X20. To solve for the distance, we can rearrange the equation to d = Moment / F. Substituting the values, we get d = 60X20 / 50 = 24 cm.
Moment is measured in newton-meters (N·m) in the SI system of units. In other systems, it may be measured in other units such as foot-pounds (ft·lb).
Moment is a measure of the turning effect of a force. It depends on both the magnitude of the force and the distance from the axis of rotation. The larger the force or the farther the distance, the greater the moment.
Moment is used in a variety of real-world applications, such as engineering, construction, and sports. It is essential for designing structures that can withstand forces, such as bridges, buildings, and machines. In sports, moment is important for activities such as throwing, swinging, and lifting.
