Two forces each of 5 N act vertically upwards and downwards respectivly on two ends of a uniform metre rule which is placed at its mid-point as shown in the diagram.determine the magnitude of the resultant moment of these forces about the midpoint.

Answer»

The two forces each of 5 N form a couple

∴ Moment of the couple = Either force x perpendicular distance between the two forces

= 5 x 1 

= 5 Nm (anti-clockwise)
