Question

The calculation of the moment about the axis and the moment about any point by a force applied on the body are different from each other.

(a) True

(b) False

The question was posed to me in an online interview.

I'm obligated to ask this question of Moment of a Force on a Specified Axis topic in section Force System Resultants of Engineering Mechanics

Answer 1

Right choice is (a) True

For explanation: The calculation of the moment about the axis and the moment about any point by a force applied on the body are different from each other. It is because both of the calculations require different formulas. And both of the formulas have different inputs, which is obviously different.
