Question

question 4
what is the magnitude of a moment of a force about a given point?
o magnitude of the force multiplied by the distance to the point
o magnitude of the force minus the reaction forces
o magnitude of the force multiplied by the distance to the reaction force
o magnitude of the force

Explanation:

The magnitude of the moment of a force about a given point is calculated as the magnitude of the force multiplied by the perpendicular distance from the point to the line of action of the force. Among the options, the correct description is the magnitude of the force multiplied by the distance to the point (assuming perpendicular distance).

Answer:

magnitude of the force multiplied by the distance to the point
