A "moment" is a measure of how far a physical variable acts from some axis, R. For example; a water wheel is placed in a river so the force of the moving water hits the blades on the rim of the wheel and rotates it about its axis. The water force F acts near the rim . The moment of force is the force F multiplied by its distance from the axis R; Moment of force = FR. This is given the name "torque". When something of mass M moves in a circle with velocity v its momentum is P = Mv and its moment of momentum is PR = MvR. This is given the name "angular momentum". Now if you multiply the mass times R you would logically call MR the moment of mass. But MR doesn't have any particular use in science so its seldom ever calculated. On the other hand the moment of the moment (called the second moment) of mass; MRR or MR^2 is a useful calculation and it is called "moment of inertia".

State the Principle of Moments?
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.
