If there is a drill putting a known moment on a board 25 Nm

If there is a drill putting a known moment on a board (25 N.m) that is being held in place with 2 nails placed a distance of 282mm apart, determine the magnitude of the force on each nail (accurate to 1 N).

Solution

Solution :

Given that moment is equal to 25 Nm

Also distance between 2 nails is equal to 282 mm= 0.282 m

Hence force = moment / distance = 25/0.282= 88.6 N = 89 N
