Q. Turning effect is produced by
A) Tangential component of force
B) Radial component of force
C) Transverse component of force
D) None of these
Explanation
(c) $\overrightarrow{\tau} = \overrightarrow{r} \times \overrightarrow{F} = r\ F\sin{\phi\ \therefore\tau = rF\sin\phi}$
$F\sin\phi =$ transverse component of force
$F\cos\phi =$ radial component of force
