Mechanical Engineering : Engineering Mechanics - Quiz(MCQ)
The moment is the cross product of which of the following two vectors/scalars?
A)
Radius and Force vectors
B)
Radius and Force scalars
C)
Force and Radius scalars
D)
Force and Radius vectors

Correct Answer : Option (A) :   Radius and Force vectors


Explanation : The cross-product must be created in the correct order. If no action is taken, the result is the polar opposite of the genuine result. As a result, the answer is the Radius and Force vectors, not the Force and Radius vectors. Because the moment, like many of the cross products, has a sense of direction, vigilance is required.
