It is a vector quantity because it got direction such as clockwise and anticlockwise.now every time a physical quantity having magnitude and direction doesn't have to be a vector. for example current electricity, it has both magnitude and direction but its a scalar quantity.another criteria is that a vector can only be calculated (add,substract) by using vector rules. moment of force can only be calculated using vector methods not algebra methods.so its a vector

∙ 11y agoAlso known as "Torque" its official definition is that a moment is defined as a force multiplied by the perpendicular distance from a stated pivot/point. This means to find the moment of a force about a point you would need to know the size of the force and the distance between the force and that stated point; you would then multiply the force by its perpendicular distance from the point and you would get the moment of that force.
Moments are measured in newton Metres (Nm)
In physics - The Moment (aka Torque ) is simply the force multiplied by the distance the force is applied to the object.

∙ 16y agoYou can use moment of force in many concepts electronics, mechanically etc. in electronics one is to load an inductor to a tension and when you remove the power the inductor will discharge and produce a back EMF that discharge can produce a much higher voltage than the voltage that you applied to the inductor in the first place.
in mechanics, a pendulum produce moment of force, a flywheel produce moment of force, when you spin it will keep on rotating until the moment of force wear out then it will stop

∙ 15y agoMoment of force is actually vector energy E=fxd, commonly called Torque. Work is W=-f.d, where f and d are vectors. Work is scalar energy and torque is vector energy. Eneregy is in general a quaternion containing scalar and vector parts E=fd= -f.d + fxd= -FDcos(fd) + FDsin(fd).

∙ 11y agoMoment of force is the tendency of a force to twist or rotate an object.
Mathematically, moment of force is the product of force and the perpendicular distance from the point of rotation to the line of action of the force.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoIt is the multiple of the force and the distance from the point of action.
The formula to work this out is:
moment=force x distance

What is the unit of movement of force?
A lot of printing error ie typo error. Moment of force and not movement of force Unit for moment of force is N m
What is the unit for moment of a force?
The formula is: Force(N) x Distance(m) N x m The unit is:Nm
What is dimension of moment of force?
The SI unit is the newton-metre, the imperial the foot-pound. For more information please see the wikipedia article.
What is the difference between torque and couple?
The turning effect of a force is called torque or moment of the force. SI unit of torque is Newton-Metre. T = FL i.e Torque = Force x Moment arm A couple is formed by two unlike parallel forces of the same magnitude but not along the same line.
What does the moment of a force messure?
A moment of a force is a measurement of the turning effect of that force. For example, the force of a hand pushing down on a door handle creates a turning effect, and is therefore described as a moment.

What is the unit for moment of a force?
The formula is: Force(N) x Distance(m) N x m The unit is:Nm
What are moments measured in?
A 'moment' is the product of force and distance. So, in SI, the unit of measurement is the newton metre(N.m).
How do you work out the moment?
To work out the moment of a force you times the force by the distance the force is from the pivot. So, basically: Moment = force x distance.
What is the unit for a polar moment of inertia?
Moment of inertia has unit kg m2

What can change when moment changes?
moment depends upon the force and the perpendicular distance between the force and the point where we are finding the moment. so when moment changes either the force will change or the perpendicular distance will change.
What is the unit of torque?
the unit of torque is NM.Torque has dimensions of force times distance. Official SI literature suggests using the unit newton metre (N·m) or the unit joule per radian.[8] The unit newton metre is properly denoted N·m or N m.Torque, moment or moment of force is the tendency of a force to rotate an object about an axis.The magnitude of torque depends on three quantities: the force applied, the length of the lever arm[2] connecting the axis to the point of force application, and the angle between the force vector and the lever arm. In symbols:whereτ is the torque vector and τ is the magnitude of the torque,r is the displacement vector (a vector from the point from which torque is measured to the point where force is applied), and r is the length (or magnitude) of the lever arm vector,F is the force vector, and F is the magnitude of the force,× denotes the cross product,θ is the angle between the force vector and the lever arm vector.
What does force - meter mean?
I assume you mean a newton meter(N.m), which is the base SI unit of torque, used to describe the rotational moment imparted on a object. It is primarily associated with levers, with the base unit describing a force of 1N being imparted on a lever 1m long which produces a moment of 1N.m about the fulcrum(point about which the lever rotates). But if the lever is 2m long only a force of 0.5N is required to achieve 1N.m.
