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

Pick an option to check your answer.
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 \(AB\).
