Question 2

Which of the following is the correct equation to calculate the moment of a force?

A

moment of a force=force×perpendicular distance from pivot\text{moment of a force} = \text{force} \times \text{perpendicular distance from pivot}moment of a force=force×perpendicular distance from pivot

B

moment of a force=force÷perpendicular distance from pivot\text{moment of a force} = \text{force} \div \text{perpendicular distance from pivot}moment of a force=force÷perpendicular distance from pivot

C

moment of a force=force×parallel distance from pivot\text{moment of a force} = \text{force} \times \text{parallel distance from pivot}moment of a force=force×parallel distance from pivot

D

moment of a force=force÷parallel distance from pivot\text{moment of a force} = \text{force} \div \text{parallel distance from pivot}moment of a force=force÷parallel distance from pivot
