Turning effect is produced by

Question

Turning effect is produced by (A) tangential component of force (B) radial component of force (C) transverse component of force (D) None of the above

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

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.

τ = F \times r

Q. Turning effect is produced by

tangential component of force

transverse component of force

None of the above

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. τ=F×r
