  2. What exactly is moment, and when is it zero? - Physics Forums

    www.physicsforums.com/threads/what-exactly-is-moment-and-when-is-it-zero.812365

    The moment is zero in an object when the net torque or turning effect on the object is equal to zero. This can happen when the forces acting on the object are balanced, or when the distance from the pivot point is zero. 5. How does moment relate to equilibrium? Moment is an important concept in understanding equilibrium in physics.

    Basically, a moment is a torque. Physics and engineering professors for some reason fail to point this out. Well, more generally, in mathematics, a moment is the cross product of r with ANY vector, which doesn't necessarily have to be a force, but in physics, the "moment" usually refers exclusively to torque.

  4. How Do You Calculate dm in Moment of Inertia? - Physics Forums

    www.physicsforums.com/threads/how-do-you-calculate-dm-in-moment-of-inertia.17746

    For more complex shapes, dm can be found by multiplying the mass density by the differential volume, which is the rate at which the volume changes with respect to an increase in the radius. The key parameter in finding the moment of inertia for these shapes is the density, and finding the correct density allows for shortcuts in the calculation.

    The moment arm is the perpendicular distance from the point of rotation (or axis) to the line of action of the force. In this problem, the moment arm would be the distance from point A to the line of action of F1. This can be found by drawing a line from point A that is perpendicular to F1. The length of this line would be the moment arm.

    3. How do you calculate moments in math and physics? In math, the moment is calculated by multiplying the force by the perpendicular distance from the pivot point to the line of action of the force. In physics, the moment is calculated by multiplying the magnitude of the force by the distance from the pivot point to the force. 4.

    The moment in physics refers to the turning effect of a force around a pivot point or axis. It is also known as torque and is measured in Newton-meters (Nm) in the SI system. 2. How do you calculate the total moment of a system? The total moment of a system is calculated by multiplying the force applied to an object by the distance from the ...

  8. Are work and moment the same thing? They both have the same units

    www.physicsforums.com/threads/are-work-and-moment-the-same-thing-they-both...

    Although they have the same units, work and torque are not the same thing. Work is calculated by multiplying force and distance, while torque is calculated by taking the cross product of force and distance. Therefore, they cannot be equated and have different effects on objects. Moment is Newtons per meter, and work is Newtons per meter.

  9. Given Moment about a Pin and a Roller - Physics Forums

    www.physicsforums.com/threads/given-moment-about-a-pin-and-a-roller.800932

    A given moment about a pin and a roller is calculated by multiplying the force applied to the pin by the perpendicular distance from the pin to the line of action of the force. This distance is known as the moment arm and is typically measured in meters (m). 3.

  10. How find moment of inertia for car in turn? - Physics Forums

    www.physicsforums.com/threads/how-find-moment-of-inertia-for-car-in-turn.1056719

    ΣM = m1*d1² + … + mn*dn² = 200kg * (1’5m)²+50kg* (0’8m)²= 482kgm². After this calculation we can see that the polar moment of inertia is 10 times higher in this case, due solely to the position of the engine since the rest of the values are identical in both examples.

  11. Kinetic Moment about the center of gravity - Physics Forums

    www.physicsforums.com/threads/kinetic-moment-about-the-center-of-gravity.748029

    Kinetic moment, also known as angular momentum, is a measure of an object's rotation. The kinetic moment about the center of gravity is the product of an object's mass, velocity, and distance from the center of gravity. It is used to calculate an object's rotational motion. 5.
