    Moment is a turning effect of an applied force that causes rotation. It is also called torque. The magnitude of the moment depends on both the amount of force applied and the distance from the point of rotation. According to the principle of moment, an object is in equilibrium when the sum of all clockwise moments equals the sum of all counterclockwise moments. The SI unit for measuring moment is the Newton meter (Nm).

    Chapter 3

    pressure
    3.1 turning effect (Moment)
    What is moment?
    Moment is a turning effect of force applied on an object.
    Moment is also called Torque.
    Practical example:
    It is difficult to tighten a nut with your finger. But, with a spanner, you can produce
    larger force. The turning effect will be greater if:
    i. You increase the force
    ii. You use longer spanner.
    Direction of Moments are described as:
    Moment of
    force = force  Clock wise
     Anti-clock wise
    *perpendicula
    The SI UNIT of moment is Nm.
    r distance
    The principle of the moment
    from the point
    Law of equilibrium (being in state of balance)
    If the object is in equilibrium:
     The sum of all clock wise moments is equal to the sum of all anticlockwise moments.
     The principle of moment must apply.
