Best Answer

The perpendicular distance is used when calculating moment because the single sided force that causes the moment then causes perpendicular movement.

Why the perpendicular distance is used while calculating moment?

Perpendicular distance is used while calculating movement in order to verify the calculation. The perpendicular calculation must match the original calculation.

What friction is used while opening a door?

While opening the door you do work to generate a moment of inertia that opens the door. The moment of inertia= force applied x perpendicular distance between the point of application of force and the axis of rotation. The greater the perpendicular distance the easier it is for you to open the door, i.e. a less amount of force can be applied to open the door. I hope this was useful.


Why is it necessary to mention the axis of rectangular bar while calculating the moment of inertia?

An object rotating about its long axis will have a different moment of inertia than when it is rotating about its short axis. A solid disk will have a different moment than a washer, and there are formulas derived for calculating the moments of many common shapes.


What are the difference between perpendicular lines and a perpendicular bisector?

A perpendicular bisector goes through the median of the line while a perpendicular line can be anywhere on the line as long as it is at a 90 degree angle.

Are skew lines perpendicular?

No, skew lines are not perpendicular. Perpendicular lines intersect at an angle of ninety degrees, while skew lines never intersect (think in three dimensions or higher).


What is the difference between parallel and perpendicular line on rectangle?

The difference between a perpendicular line and a parallel line is that a perpendicular line crosses or joins, while a parallel line doesn't touch at all.


What is the distance a vehicle travels from the moment an event occurs until the driver sees it and becomes aware of the danger?

How do you measure clockwise or anticlockwise moments?

It doesn't matter whether it's a straight beam or a curve, you calculate moments the same way. The moment is a force multiplied by its perpendicular distance from the point of rotation. There is one thing you will need to consider while preparing your mobile, the location of the center of mass of the curved pieces. If you are using a rectangular piece of wood, for example, the COM is located at the the midpoint of the length and of the width. So, you can support the piece at the COM. With a curve, the COM could be at a point in the space around the object. Think of a donut - it's COM is in the middle of the hole. You could have a harder time getting everything into equilibrium. It's not a monumental challenge to overcome, just something for you to think about as you layout your pieces. Good luck.
