ABSTRACT
The moment of force about a point is found by multiplying together the force and the perpendicular distance between the point and the line of action of the force. Consider an arm attached to a shaft as in Figure 84. The moment acting on the shaft tending to turn it clockwise is 2N × 0.5m = 1Nm Arm attached to a shaft https://s3-euw1-ap-pe-df-pch-content-public-p.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/9781315863122/b66584da-ae46-426e-a83c-08160dc244ad/content/fig1_84.tif"/>
