Question

Tunning effect of a force

Answer 1

Answer:

A force may cause an object to turn about a pivot. The turning effect of a force is called the moment of the force. Moments act about a pivot in a clockwise or anticlockwise direction.

Answer 2

If an object is fixed at one point and can rotate around it, that point is called a pivot. If a force acts on the object, the object turns around the pivot. The turning force is called a torque and the effect it produces is called a moment.
