Mechanical Engineering : Engineering Mechanics - Quiz(MCQ)
Which of the following conditions doesn’t affect the magnitude of the moment?
A)
If the resultant is maximal
B)
If the point of application of force is along the line of action
C)
If the point of application of force is opposing the line of action
D)
If the moment of centre is shifted along a line perpendicular to the line of action

Correct Answer : Option (B) :   If the point of application of force is along the line of action


Explanation : If the point of application of force is transported along the line of action and the moment of the centre is moved down a line parallel to the line of action of force, the magnitude of the moment remains unchanged. The magnitude is unaffected in either instance.
