moments

• Moment 


  the product of the force and the perpendicular distance of the line of action of the force from the pivot.
• Equation 


  Moment = f×x

  Moment = force ×perpendicular distance
• What are the key components involved in calculating moments for a body in rotational equilibrium?

  • Force (F)
  • Distance (d)
  • Angle (θ)
  • Moment calculation: $moment =$$Fcosθ$
• moments definition

  this is the turning effect of a force at an axis or point
• perpendicular distance

  0.20cos$\theta$
• moments equation with numbers

  moments = f $\times$0.20cos$\theta$
• principle of moments

  you can use this to solve where an object is in rotational equilibrium -

  the sum of anticlockwise moments at any point is equal to the sum of the clockwise moments at the same point
