    The document discusses moments (torque) and includes the results of an experiment. It defines moment as the magnitude of a force that influences the rotation of an object, also known as a turning force. It provides equations to calculate the percentage difference between experimental and theoretical values from figures A and B. The questions and problems section defines terms like moment arm and discusses conditions for equilibrium of non-concurrent coplanar forces. It also shows sample calculations for finding the point of support to keep a bar horizontal given the mass and placement of weights. The conclusion reiterates that moment relates to the perpendicular distance from a point to a line and is the product of the distance of a force from an axis times the magnitude of the force.

    QUESTION AND PROBLEMS:
    1. Define: moment, lever arm, or moment arm
    -- moment of force means the magnitude of force that
    influences the rotation of an object. It can also be the
    "turning force" around a pivot
    -- moment arm, the distance from the axis of rotation,
    plays an important role. The lever, pulley, gear, and most
    other simple machines create mechanical advantage by
    changing the moment arm. The SI unit for moment is
    the newton meter
    2. What are the conditions of equilibrium for a non-
    concurrent coplanar forces acting on a body?
    -- the force polygon must close, The link polygon must
    close.
    3. A uniform bar 3 m long weighs 67 lbs. A 22N
    weight is hanging at the end of the bar. At what point
    must the bar be supported for it to remain
    horizontal?
    -- calling x =0 the end opposite the 22 lb weight, we
    have
    center of mass = (1.5m x 67lbs + 3m x 22lbs)/(67lbs +
    22lbs) = 1.87m





    4. A bar 12 ft. long weighs 20lbs. Its center of gravity
    is 5 ft. from one end. An 8 lb weight is hung 2 ft
    from the other end. If the bar is to remain horizontal,
    at what point should it be supported?

    -- total length = 12 ft,
    mass, m1 = 20 lbs
    C.G. = 5 ft
    mass, m2 = 8 lbs
    Let,
    it is hung = x ft from one-end,
    Then,
    20(x-5) = 8(12-x-2)
    20x -100 = 96 -8x -16
    20x+8x = 96+100-16
    28x = 180

    x = 180/28 = 6.43 ft from th end of C.G.









    CONCLUSION:
    moment relates to the perpendicular distance from a point to a
    line or a surface, and is derived from the mathematical
    concept of moments.
    [1]
    It is frequently used in combination
    with other physical quantities as in moment of inertia, moment
    of force, moment of momentum,magnetic moment and so on.
    Moment is also used colloquially for different physical
    quantities that depend upon distance. For example, in
    engineering and kinesiology the term moment is often used
    instead of the more complete term moment of force. A
    moment of force is the product of the distance of a force from
    an axis times the magnitude of the force, i.e., F d,
    where F is the magnitude of the force and d is the moment of
    the force. See torque for a more complete description of
    moments of force or couplefor the related concept free
    moment of force also known as a force couple.
