Jenny puts a book on her desk. she lifts the book up with her finger, using a force of 0.5N. The cover is 10cm wide.

calculate the turning moment on the cover of the book

The turning moment on the cover of the book is 0.05 Nm.

Explanation:

Given:

Force applied (F) = 0.5 N

Distance covered (d) = 10 cm

Converting Distance covered from cm to meter we get (d) = 0.1 m

To find:

Turning Moment (M) on the cover of the book = ?

Formula to be used:

Turning Moment (M) = F * d

= 0.5 * 0.1

= 0.05 Nm

Thus the turning moment on the cover of the book is found to be 0.05 Nm
