A diver of weight 500N stands at the end of a springboard that is 2.0 m long and is fixed at
point P.
2.0m
The springboard has a weight of 500 N. The centre of mass of the springboard is in the centre of
the board.
What is the total moment about point P of the diver and the board?
A 500NM
B 750Nm
C 1000 Nm
1500 Nm​

Respuesta :

the answer is (c) because if you say

[tex]moment = f \times d| = 500n \times 2.0m = 1000nm[/tex]

The total moment about point P of the diver and the board is 1000N.m. The correct option is C.

What is moment of force?

The equal and opposite force acting at a point from the axis of rotation is called the moment of force.

M = F x r

Given is the force = 500N and the distance between diver and board r =2m, the moment will be

M = 500 x 2

M  = 1000N.m

Thus, the correct option is C.
