Question

State how you would calculate the moment about a pivot. Give the equation and appropriate units

Answer 1

moment=force x perp. distance from the pivot

unit= Nm

Answer 2

M = F × d

1. M = F × dM = moment in newton metres (Nm)
2. M = F × dM = moment in newton metres (Nm)F = force in newtons (N)
3. M = F × dM = moment in newton metres (Nm)F = force in newtons (N)d = perpendicular distance of the force to the pivot in metres (m)
