MOMENT OF A
FORCE
 Moment of a force
Moment of a force about an axis or
line is the measure of its ability to
produce turning or twisting the
axis. The magnitude if the moment
of a force about an axis which is
perpendicular to a plane
containing the line of action of the
force is defined as the product of
the force and the perpendicular
distance from the axis to the line
of action of the force.
Moment of a force is like a door
opening
