A rescue worker uses a hydraulic spreader tool to pry open a jammed car door.
The force, FFF, applied by the hydraulic piston is 4500 N.
The moment of this force about the pivot is 1125 N m.
Calculate the perpendicular distance, ddd, from the pivot to the line of action of the force. Use the equation:
moment of a force=force×distance \text{moment of a force} = \text{force} \times \text{distance} moment of a force=force×distance
