1.25 know and use the relationship between the moment of a force and its distance from the pivot: moment = force × perpendicular distance from the pivot
An object turned around a pivot when force is applied is a moment.

Can anyone give me a good definition of a moment please

ReplyDeletea turning effect produced by a force acting at a distance on an object.
the magnitude of a turning effect produced by a force acting at a distance, expressed as the product of the force and the distance from its line of action to a given point.
can anyone clarify further?
