Question

explain moment of force

Answer 1

The turning effect of a force applied to a rotational system at a distance from the axis of rotation. The moment is equal to the magnitude of the force multiplied by the perpendicular distance between its line of action and the axis of rotation.

Answer 2

Explanation:

The Moment of a force is a measure of its tendency to cause a body to rotate about a specific point or axis. ... This occurs every time a force is applied so that it does not pass through the centroid of the body. A moment is due to a force not having an equal and opposite force directly along it's line of action.
