Detailed Solution

The moment of force depends on the force applied and the perpendicular distance between the pivot and the line of action of force.
The turning effect produced by force on a rigid body about a point is called the moment of force or torque. It is measured by the product of force and the perpendicular distance of the fulcrum from the line of action of force.
Moment of a force (turning) = Force

\times

perpendicular distance of the pivot from the force.
The greater the perpendicular distance of the force, the greater the turning effect of force. Hence the moment of force depend on both the force applied and the perpendicular distance between the pivot and the line of action of force.
