1、THE MOMENT OF A FORCE
①c
oncept
:The turning effect of a force is called its
moment.
②Formula:
moment (N m)=force(N) × perpendicular distance
from the pivot to the line of action of the force(m)
moment = F × x
③the SI Unite:N m
1、THE MOMENT OF A FORCE
example 1.
A student pulls down with a force of 40N on
a rope, that winds arould the pulley of radius
of 5cm, what is the moment of the force?
moment =F
×
r
=40

0.05
=2Nm
2、THE PRINCIPLE OF MOMENTS
Force 1×Arm of Force 1=Force 2×Arm of Force 2
F1×l1=F2×l2

2、THE PRINCIPLE OF MOMENTS
①remain stationary
②rotate at the same speed in
the same direction
2、THE PRINCIPLE OF MOMENTS
F1×l1=F2×l2+F3×l3
2、THE CENTRE OF GRAVITY
2、THE CENTRE OF GRAVITY
REGULAR OBJECTS
①with an even weight distribution
②with a regular Geometric shape
We can find the gravity cetre at geometrical center.
