Moment / Moment of a force
Moment of a force
Definition : Moment is force x perpendicular distance to the pivot
its a vector quantity because it has clockwise or anticlockwise moment
SI unit : Nm
Explanation : Moment of a force about a point will cause an object to turn. so we say moment cause turning effect.
Choose d1 because d1 is perpendicular to the force
Choose d2 because d2 is perpendicular to the force
