Question

Turning effect is produced by:

• A. Tangential component of force
• B. Radial component of force
• C. Transverse component of force
• D. None of these.

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Transverse component of force

Answer 2

$\overset{\rightarrow}{\tau} = \overset{\rightarrow}{r} \times \overset{\rightarrow}{F} = r\mspace{6mu} F\sin\varphi$⇒ $\tau = rF\sin\varphi$

$F\sin\varphi =$ transverse component of force

$F\cos\varphi =$ radial component of force
