a moment is a turning effect of a force

M=Fd

M=moment

F=force(N)

d=perpendicular distance from the line of action of the force to the pivot

if the total anticlockwise moment equals the total clockwise moment about a pivot, the object is balanced and wont turn.

levers:

the amount of force needed to produce a particular moment depends on the distance the force is applied from the pivot

levers increase the distance from the pivot at which the force is applied-less force…
