When a force F undergoes a displacement dx in the same
direction as the force, the work done is

dU e F dx

If the total displacement is x the work


become

U e F dx

The work of a moment is defined by the


product of the magnitude of the moment
M and the angle
then if the total
:angle of rotation is
the work become
dU e M d

U e M d
0

U e 12 M
