Q. Turning effect is produced by

MHT CETMHT CET 2005System of Particles and Rotational Motion

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 or the body about that axis. The torque is equal to product of transverse component of force and perpendicular distance from the axis of rotation.
