Moments make things turn or rotate
It is caused by forces, but they are not forces itself
They have a direction (clockwise/anticlockwise)
The bigger the force, the bigger the moment
Teh further the force from the pivot the bigger the moment
Size of moment = force x distance
Force is measured in N (Newtons)
DIstance is measured in M or Cm
Forces can make objects turn if there is a pivot
Turning forces = Moments
