Moment of Force Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Moment of force = Force*Perpendicular Distance between Force and Point
M_f = F*r_FP
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Moment of force - (Measured in Newton Meter) - Moment of force is the product of a force and the perpendicular distance of the line of action of the force.
Force - (Measured in Newton) - Force is any interaction that, when unopposed, will change the motion of an object. In other words, a force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity.
Perpendicular Distance between Force and Point - (Measured in Meter) - Perpendicular Distance between Force and Point is an important factor in calculating the moment of force.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

What is moment of force?

The Moment of a force is a measure of its tendency to cause a body to rotate about a specific point or axis. In order for a moment to develop, the force must act upon the body in such a manner that the body would begin to twist.

How to Calculate Moment of Force?

Moment of Force calculator uses Moment of force = Force*Perpendicular Distance between Force and Point to calculate the Moment of force, The Moment of force formula is defined as the product of force and the perpendicular distance between points at which moment is calculated. Moment of force is denoted by M_f symbol.

How to calculate Moment of Force using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Moment of Force, enter Force (F) & Perpendicular Distance between Force and Point (r_FP) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Moment of Force calculation can be explained with given input values -> 10 = 2.5*4.
