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.

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 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 formula for moment arm?

we can show moment arm as r=torque divide by force.


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 the turning effect moment of the load?

The turning effect, caused from force, is called The moment of a force.


What will be the shear force when bending moment is constant?

On SFD's and BMD's: The shear force will be 0, the shear force is the derivative of the bending moment at a point on shear force and bending moment diagrams. Otherwise: It depends on the loading.


When calculating moment of force what two changes can be made to increase the size of the moments?

1. increase the force2. increase the distance from the force to the point of moment

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 do you mean bu equivalent shear force and equivalent bending moment?
