  • Calculate the Moment of Force Applied to a Spanner: A Step-by-Step Guide
    Here's how to calculate the moment created by the spanner:

    Understanding Moment

    * Moment (also called torque) is a rotational force. It's the tendency of a force to rotate an object around an axis.

    * Formula: Moment (M) = Force (F) x Perpendicular Distance (d)

    Calculations

    1. Force (F): 50 N

    2. Perpendicular Distance (d): 0.4 m (This is the length of the spanner, assuming the force is applied perpendicular to the spanner)

    3. Moment (M): 50 N * 0.4 m = 20 Nm

    Answer: The size of the moment created by the spanner is 20 Nm (Newton-meters).
