- Turning Forces
- Moments
- The turning effect of a force
- The size of the moment of the force...
- Moment = FORCE x Perpendicular DISTANCE (from the line of action to the pivot)
- M=FxD
- Moment - NM (Newton Metres)
- Force - N (newtons)
- Distance - M (Metres)
- M=FxD
- Moment = FORCE x Perpendicular DISTANCE (from the line of action to the pivot)
- The force on a spanner casues a turning effect or moment on the nut (which acts as a pivot)
- A larger force would mean a larger moment
- Moments
