Answer:
1425.78 N.m
Explanation:
Moments of force is calculated as ;
Moments= Force * distance
M= F*d
The S.I unit for moment of force is Newton-meter (N.m)
Given in the question;
Force = 72 lbs
1 pound = 4.45 N
72 lbs = 4.45 * 72=320.4 N
Distance= 15 ft
1ft= 0.3048 m
15 ft = 15*0.3048 = 4.57 m
d= 4.57 m
M= F*d
M=320.4*4.57 =1425.78 N.m
