JEE Mains · Physics · STD 11 - 6. system of particles and rotational motion

A force of \(40\, N\) acts on a point \(B\) at the end of an \(L-\) shaped object, as shown in the figure. The angle \(\theta\) that will produce maximum moment of the force about point \(A\) is given by

  1. A \(\tan \theta  = \frac{1}{4}\)
  2. B \(\tan \theta  = 2\)
  3. C \(\tan \theta  = \frac{1}{2}\)
  4. D \(\tan \theta  = 4\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\tan \theta  = \frac{1}{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

To produce maximum moment of force line of action of force must be perpendicular to line \(AB\).
