Moment

This document discusses the concept of moment in physics. A moment is the turning effect of a force on an object and is calculated as force x distance (Nm = d x F). The principle of moments comes from Archimedes' discovery of the lever and states that for an object in equilibrium, the sum of clockwise moments equals the sum of anticlockwise moments. Examples of moments in everyday life include a seesaw and pliers. An interactive game for testing understanding of moments is also provided.

Moment

Nm = d x F

Unit and Formula


Moment= Nm =d xF

The principle and concept


The concept of moment in physics is derived fro
m the mathematical concept of moments.
The principle of moments is derived from Archi
medes' discovery of the operating principle of t
he lever.

Equilibrium
If

an object is in equilibrium
The sum of the clockwise moments a
bout an point is equal to the sum of t
he anticlockwise moments about that
point.
The sum of the forces in one directio
n must equal the sum of the forces in
the opposite direction.
The principl eof moments must apply

Moment in life
seesaw

How moment act on seeaw


In

this picture
Person b has a force is 500n x 2m
Persion a has a force is 1000n x 1m
It is equilibrium, so the seesaw Is remain
