Torque/Moment of Force:


The turning effect produce in a body about a fixed point due to applied force is called . . . . .
a) moment of force                           
b) inertia
c) momentum                     
d) none of these

a

Torque Ʈ = . . . . . .
a) F × a                                 
b) F × d
c) force × perpendicular distance from the axis of rotation.                                      
d both b & c

The SI unit of torque is . . . . . .
a) Newton metre                 
b) Nm
c) newton metre                  
d) both b & c

d

Explanation: not Newton metre because by Newton we mean scientist Albert Newton, and by newton we mean SI unit of force N.
