Moment of a force
Moment is the measure of the capacity or ability of the
force to produce twisting or turning effect about an axis.
This axis is perpendicular to the plane containing the
line of action of the force. The magnitude of moment is
equal to the product of the force and the perpendicular
distance from the axis to the line of action of the force.
The intersection of the plane and the axis is commonly
called the moment center, and the perpendicular
distance from the moment center to the line of action of
the force is called moment arm.

Example Problem 003:


Three ropes are tied to a small metal ring. At the end of
each rope three students are pulling, each trying to
move the ring in their direction. If we look down from
above, the forces and directions they are applying are
shown in Fig. P-011. Find the net force on the ring due
to the three applied forces.

Example 004
In Fig. P-226 assuming counterclockwise moments as
positive, compute the moment of force F = 200 kg and
force P = 165 kg about points A, B, C, and D.
