What is a Moment of Force?

The moment of force, or torque, refers to the rotational effect produced by a force acting on an object. It is a measure of the tendency of a force to cause an object to rotate around a specific point, known as the axis of rotation. The moment of force depends on the magnitude of the force, the distance from the axis of rotation, and the angle between the force and the line connecting the axis to the point where the force is applied.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ MoF = 50 \times 2 = 100 \text{ N·m} \]

The Moment of Force is 100 N·m.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ MoF = 75 \times 1.5 = 112.5 \text{ N·m} \]

The Moment of Force is 112.5 N·m.
