Turning effects of a force
Introduction: "Hello, everyone! Today, we're delving into the intriguing world of turning effects of forces, understanding how forces cause objects to rotate or turn. Get ready for a journey into moments, principles, and applications. Let's begin!" Moments of a Force: Definition of Moment: "A moment is the turning effect of a force about a point. It depends on both the force applied and the distance from the point to the line of action of the force." Example: "When opening a door, the force applied at the handle creates a moment that turns the door around its hinges." Moment Formula: "The moment (M) is calculated as the product of the force (F) and the perpendicular distance (d) from the point to the line of action of the force. M = F × d." Example: "If you apply a 10 N force perpendicular to a wrench at a distance of 0.2 meters from the hinge, the moment is 2 Nm." Turning Effect of a Force: Turning Effect: "The turning eff
