What is the formula for moment arm?

we can show moment arm as r=torque divide by force.


The product of force and lever-arm distance in producing rotation is?

In a lever, the product of effort and effort arm is called Moment of effort and product of load and load arm is called Moment of load. In general case, as asked in the question, "The Product of force and lever-arm distance is called Moment of Force"the Moment of Force isn't correct its {Torque}


What do you call the turning effect of a force?

torque. Torque = force * moment arm


When A force of 5 newton is acting parallel to the moment arm of 10 cm . so what is torque?

In order for a force to produce a torque, either all of it, or a part of it (component) must act perpendicular to the moment arm. If, as in your case, all of the force is parallel to the moment arm then the force can not produce a torque. So the answer is; the torque is zero.


What do you get when you multiply effort force by the effort arm distance?

In physics, moment is a combination of a physical quantity, like force, and a distance. For example, a moment of force is the product of of a force and its distance from an axis, which causes rotation about the axis.


When A force of 5N is acting parallel to the moment arm of 10Cm .so what is torque?

50N/Ccm


Can a small force produce a greater torque than a large force?

Can a small force ever exert a greater torque than a larger force? Explain yes it is possible if small force is applied with a larger moment arm(lever arm) as compared to larger force.


Part of a lever on which effort force is applied?

Third class.


Is screw force the same as screw torque?

No, it is not. In basic physics, torque is equal to force multipled (cross multiplication in vector terms) by distance (the moment arm).


SI units for moment arm is?

SI unit for moment arm is 1 meter


If a person pushed on a door with a force of 650n and a moment arm of 0.75 meters what would be the moment created?

650x.75=487.5 Nm. (A torque is a moment (specifically, one about the longitudinal axis of the body in question))


How is winch like a lever?

Winches and levers are both machines that contribute mechanical advantage. They work by increasing the moment applied by a force by increasing the distance away that the force is applied. A moment, is calculated by the magnitude of the force times the distance away it is applied. Imagine a lever like a seesaw. The closer you sit to the center, the point of rotation, the easier it is for someone else to hold you up. The further out you side, the harder it is for them to hold you up. Further out, the "moment arm" is longer, so you are applying a greater moment. Winches have their moment center in the middle of the winding mechanism. Instead of winding it by holding the thin central rod, you have an arm sticking out that allows you to create a larger moment. Imagine having a dial where the knob has broken off. Instead of being easy to turn, it becomes very hard.
