Question:

What are the 2 methods to calculate the moment of the force {1(5)} {2(4)}

Author: Phillanie Jacobs



Answer:

1 Draw a perpendicular line from the pivot to the line of a force Find distance x`2 Calculate moment of force = F`2 x x`2 From the right angle triangle we can see that : x`2 = d sin θ Moment of force = F`2 x d sin θ = F`2 d sin θ 2 Calculate component of F`2 that is at 90° to the lever F`2 sin θ x d Moment of a force = F`2 d sinθ
