alleryStart learning →A force acts along a straight rod through its pivot. Its moment is?
AZero about the pivot
BForce divided by length
CForce times rod mass
DForce times rod length
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Zero about the pivot
A line of action passing through the pivot has zero perpendicular distance and therefore zero moment.
