COPLANAR NON - CONCURRENT FORCE
SYSTEM

Moment Of A Force :-
The moment of a force is equal to the product of the force and the
perpendicular distance of line of action of force from the point about
which the moment is required.
M=PxX
Here, M = moment
P = Force
X = Perpendicular distance between the line of action of
force and the point about which moment is required.
Unit of moment is N.m. or kN,m.
Examples of moment are :-
i) To tight the nut by spanner
ii) To open or close the door
Sign for moment:-
Generally, clockwise moment is taken as positive and anticlockwise
moment is taken as negative.
TYPES OF MOMENT
II. The algebric sum of the moment of the forces, forming the couple, about any
point is the same and equal to the moment of the couple itself.
III. A couple cannot be balanced by a single force, but can be balanced only by a
couple, but of opposite nature.
IV. If number of coplanar couples are acting on the body, the they can be reduced to
a single couple, whose magnitude will be equal to the algebraic sum of moment
of all the couples.
