    How much do you know about Mechanical Aptitude?

    If you increase the lever arm (distance to the fulcrum) while maintaining the force applied, what happens to the moment exerted?

    Answers

    It decreases, because the force is distributed
    It becomes zero if the arm is large
    It does not change: it depends only on the mass
    Aumenta proporcionalmente al brazo (τ = F·d)Correct

    The moment is τ=F·d (if perpendicular force). The greater the distance, the greater the turning capacity.
