Question

A man is travelling in the car. He is driving the car. If he is taking a turn in the road. He is applying force to the steering wheel by holding the wheel with his both hands. The steering wheel is facing a moment of force.

(a) True

(b) False

The question was posed to me by my school principal while I was bunking the class.

I want to ask this question from Moment of a Couple in division Force System Resultants of Engineering Mechanics

Answer 1

The correct option is (b) False

To explain I would say: The man is trying to rotate the wheel by applying the force. The force is being applied on the steering wheel. Which is rotating the wheel, but it is the moment of the couple. Because the man has holded the wheel with his both hands, hence it is not the moment of the force.
