Question 2178Deck Safety70% to pass
The moment created by a force of 12,000 tons and a moment arm of 0.25 foot is _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) 3,000 ft-tons.
The moment created by a force is calculated by multiplying the force (in this case, 12,000 tons) by the moment arm (0.25 foot). The formula for calculating moment is: Moment = Force x Moment Arm.
Plugging in the values, we get: Moment = 12,000 tons x 0.25 foot = 3,000 ft-tons.
The other answer choices are incorrect because:
A) 48,000 ft-tons is too high, as it does not match the calculation.
B) 0 ft-tons is incorrect, as the moment is not zero.
C) 6,000 ft-tons is too high, as it does not match the calculation.
