Question

4. State Moment of Force. Give its mathematical expression
​

Answer 1

Answer:

The turning effect of a force is known as the moment. It is the product of the force multiplied by the perpendicular distance from the line of action of the force to the pivot or point where the object will turn. SI unit of moment of a force is Newton-metre (Nm). It is a vector quantity.

Explanation:

Answer 2

The Moment of a force is a measure of its tendency to cause a body to rotate about a specific point or axis. ... If both of them are pushing with an equal force then there is a state of equilibrium.

Archimedes noted that the amount of force applied to the object, the moment of force, is defined as M = rF, where F is the applied force, and r is the distance from the applied force to object.
