For producing the maximum turning effect on a body by a given force, the perpendicular distance of the line of force from the axis of rotation should be :
(a) minimum (b) it does not matter
(c) maximum (d) zero

(c) maximum
Explanation: The greater the perpendicular distance from the axis, the larger the moment (turning effect) for the same force. Hence, maximum distance gives maximum moment.
