A, B and C are the three forces each of magnitude 4N acting in the plane of the paper as shown in Figure. The point O lies in the same plane. (i) Name the forces producing (a) clockwise and (b) anticlockwise moments.
A, B and C are the three forces each of magnitude 4N acting in the plane of the paper as shown in Figure. The point O lies in the same plane. (i) Name the forces producing (a) clockwise and (b) anticlockwise moments.

(i) (a) Clockwise moments are produced by vectors A and B.

Explanation: Moment of force is called clockwise moment and it is negative if the turning impact on the body is clockwise.

(b) Anticlockwise moment is produced by vector C.

Explanation: Moment of force is called anticlockwise moment and it is positive if the turning impact on the body is anticlockwise.
