🌈 Mind Map of Moment of Force
Definition: Turning effect of the force ( rotational motion ) on the body on which it is acting is measured by the moment of a force.
Formula: moment of force = F x d
Factors affect: the magnitude of the force and the perpendicular distance from the axis of rotation.
Units: S.I unit N m
CGS dyne cm
Relation: 1 N m = 10⁷ dyne cm
Quantity: Vector quantity
Direction: clockwise direction taken as Negative
Anticlockwise direction taken as positive
