What two factors must be known in order to calculate the moment of a force?
Torque = Force * distance
Torque and distance must be perpendicular to each other
If not you must determine the portion of the torque that is perpendicular.

Since a moment is a force times a distance is it true to call a moment a force?
No, a moment is a force x a distance, it is the product of a force and a distance. You get the same moment with a force of say 2 Newtons at 0.5 meter as a force of 1 Newton at 1 meter, so it is obviously not a force alone, but the product of a force and a distance, and its units are Newton.meters in the SI system
What is a force that slows things down in the air?
Whenever any object moves through air (eg an aeroplane) it observes four forces 1 Drag force 2. lift force 3.weight of object 4.thrust created by the propellers or engine of the object. The drag force is directed opposite to the direction of moment of the object and slows the object down.
Which is equal to an impulse of 18 units?
Force = 10, time = 3D.Force = 0.1, time = 300
What causes a g force?
g force is the force exerted on a body in the opposite direction to which said body is accelerating. if you're on a rollercoaster and your going not too fast and you suddenly change direction and accelerate quickly, you get pushed back into your seat. g force gets its name as 1g is the equivilent of the force of gravity on the earths surface. That's why when individuals experience g forces greater than 1 or 2, they experience a heavy, weighty feeling and do indeed for a brief moment weigh heavier.Sudden Change In Direction
What 2 things determine the friction between to objects?
Friction between two objects depends on the static coefficient of friction (if the object is currently not moving) and the normal force from the surface, acting in the direction opposite the direction of gravity.
What 2 things does an electric force depend on?
Force between charges depend on the quantity of charge and distance between them
What are 2 things upon which amount of gravitational force between 2 objects depend?
The 2 masses and the distance between them.
What are 2 things that the amount of gravitational force between 2 objects depend on?
The masses of the objects and the distance between them.

No, a moment is a force x a distance, it is the product of a force and a distance.

What 2 thing does force depend on?
mass and acceleration.
What 2 factors does pressure depend on?
Pressure depends on force over area
What 2 things affect the gravitational force exerted by objects?
The two things that affect the gravitational force is Mass and Distance.
How do you calculate the moment capacity of a concrete section?
From ACI 318; 1) Solve for a (whitney compressive stress block) 2) Determine moment from force couple
Shear force bending moment diagram?
a simple definition " IT'S A COUPLE OF FORCE HAVING EQUAL MAGNITUDE BUT OPPOSITE IN DIRECTION & HAVING VERY LESS DISTANCE BETWEEN THEM"
What two things should you describe about a force that acts on an object?
the 2 things you should describe about a force that acts on an object is the size and direction
Which is equal to the product of force exerted by a machine and the distance over which the force is applied?
Well, a 'moment' is: moment = force x perpendicular distance from pivot. 1. If you set it up right, Work (or Energy) = Force X distance. 2. Of course, you could be talking of mechanical advantage, but your English will have to be better for that interpretation (the only clue being "machine").
What is the force that holds 2 or more things together?
Lots of forces do that.
