It doesn't matter whether it's a straight beam or a curve, you calculate moments the same way. The moment is a force multiplied by its perpendicular distance from the point of rotation.
There is one thing you will need to consider while preparing your mobile, the location of the center of mass of the curved pieces. If you are using a rectangular piece of wood, for example, the COM is located at the the midpoint of the length and of the width. So, you can support the piece at the COM.
With a curve, the COM could be at a point in the space around the object. Think of a donut - it's COM is in the middle of the hole. You could have a harder time getting everything into equilibrium.
It's not a monumental challenge to overcome, just something for you to think about as you layout your pieces. Good luck.
The Earth rotates counterclockwise when viewed from above the North Pole. This counterclockwise rotation is also known as west to east.
In cooking and baking, the direction you stir usually doesn't make a significant difference to the final outcome. However, in certain cultural or spiritual practices, stirring clockwise may be considered more positive or welcoming energy, while stirring anticlockwise may be associated with banishing or removing negative energy. Ultimately, the importance of the direction of stirring depends on the context in which it is done.
Depends on your perspective, doesn't it? Having said that, if you're looking at our galaxy from a "top" view (i.e. down towards the Earth's north pole), then Mars, like everything else in the galaxy, revolves around the Sun in a counter-clockwise direction.
Venus As well as Venus, Uranus is generally said to be rotating clockwise as well. But it is also tilted, so it can be said to be rotating either clockwise or anti-clockwise, depending on whether one thinks it is inclined 82° in one direction, or 98° in the opposite direction !
The direction in which clocks are designed to move was likely influenced by sundials, which tracked the movement of the sun's shadows in the Northern Hemisphere. The clockwise direction was chosen for consistency and ease of reading, as it matched the natural movement of shadow on a sundial. Over time, this convention became standardized in clock design.
The principle of moments, also known as the law of moments, states that for an object to be in equilibrium, the total sum of clockwise moments about a point must be equal to the total sum of anticlockwise moments about the same point. This principle is based on the idea that when an object is in equilibrium, the sum of the clockwise torques must balance the sum of the counterclockwise torques.
The principle of moment, also known as the principle of torque, states that an object will remain in rotational equilibrium when the sum of the clockwise moments is equal to the sum of the anticlockwise moments. It is used to analyze rotational motion and equilibrium in objects subjected to forces. Mathematically, it is expressed as ΣM = 0, where ΣM is the sum of all moments acting on an object.
anticlockwise
To calculate the clockwise moment, you multiply the force applied by the distance from the pivot point in the direction of rotation. For the anticlockwise moment, you do the same calculation but with forces acting in the opposite direction. The moments are calculated as force x distance.

clockwise
anticlockwise. (All toilets in the Northern Hemisphere flush clockwise, all toilets in Southern Hemisphere flush anticlockwise.)
The meaning of clockwise movement is movement in the same direction of the hands of a clock, or in a circle from left to right. Anticlockwise movement is movement in a circle from right to left.
Clockwise.
Anti-clockwise
The principle of moments states that for a body in rotational equilibrium, the sum of clockwise moments about any point must be equal to the sum of anticlockwise moments about the same point. This is also known as the principle of torque balance.
Yes it can be (anticlockwise rotation).It means the same as counter-clockwise, and is also used as an adverb.
