What is the formula for finding the moment?

Answer 1

The moment (or torque) is calculated using the formula: ( M = F \times d ), where ( M ) is the moment, ( F ) is the force applied, and ( d ) is the distance from the pivot point to the point where the force is applied, measured perpendicularly. If the force is not applied perpendicularly, the formula can be adjusted to ( M = F \times d \times \sin(\theta) ), where ( \theta ) is the angle between the force vector and the lever arm.
