    1) Everyday examples of moment include sweeping with a broom where the hand acts as the pivot point and the other applies force, opening a door where the doorknob is the pivot and force is applied, and using a wheelbarrow where the wheel acts as the pivot under a lifted load. 2) Other examples are pushing someone on a swing where the chain acts as the pivot under the applied pushing force, and opening a bottle with a bottle opener where the length of the lever reduces the needed opening force. 3) Lifting weights also demonstrates moment, with the elbow as the pivot point and arm muscles applying the lifting force.

    EXAMPLES OF THE EFFECT OF MOMENT IN EVERYDAY LIFE:

    PIVOT

    FORCE

    When a person sweeps the floor with a broom, one of the hands acts as the pivot while the other hand applies the force
    which creates moment.

    PIVOT

    FORCE
    E

    A person applying force to open the door using the doorknob produces moment, because the doors turns along its
    hinges, which serves as the axis of rotation.

    E

    PIVOT

    When using the wheelbarrow, the axis of the wheel acts as a pivot while the hand applying the force to lift the load
    causes moment.
    PIVOT

    A person pushing someone riding the swing will make the swing rotate around its pivot, which is the chain fastened to
    the swing frame.

    PIVOT

    FORCE
    E

    It is easier to open a bottle using a bottle opener because the length of the lever reduces the amount of force needed to
    open the bottle.

    PIVOT

    A person lifting weights is also an example of moment because the elbow acts as the point of rotation (or pivot), while
    the arm muscles produces the force to lift the weight.
