What is the unit of moment of force?

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

Also 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.

Answer 3

You 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

Answer 4

Moment 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).

Answer 5

Moment 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.

Answer 6

It 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

Answer 7

The unit of moment of force (torque) is Nm (Newton x meter). This is not related to energy and work, that also happen to have units of Nm.

Answer 8

The unit of moment of force is the Newton-meter (Nm) in the International System of Units (SI). It is also commonly referred to as the joule (J).
