Q. Turning effect is produced by

J & K CETJ & K CET 2005

Solution:

When an external force acting on a body has a tendency to rotate the body about an axis, then the force is said to exert a torque about the body about that axis. The torque is equal to product of transverse component of force and perpendicular distance from the axis of rotation.
$ \tau =F \times r $
