The moment of a force (also called torque) is a measure of the tendency of the force to rotate an object about a specific point or axis.
It is mathematically defined as:
Moment (M)=Force (F)×Perpendicular Distance (d)
Where:
-
Force (F) is the magnitude of the applied force.
-
Perpendicular Distance (d) is the shortest distance from the point of rotation to the line of action of the force.
Additional InformationTypes of Moments:
-
Clockwise Moment:
-
Causes rotation in the clockwise direction.
-
-
Counter-clockwise Moment:
-
Causes rotation in the anti-clockwise direction.
-
Principle of Moments (Varignon’s Theorem):
-
States that if a number of forces act on a body, the total moment about any point is equal to the sum of the moments of the individual forces.
