I'm looking for a lecture note on the concepts of moment and torque. Can anyone help find a text on that?
A moment is a measure of the tendency of a force to cause an object to rotate about a specific point or axis.
Torque is the measure of the force that causes an object to rotate around an axis or pivot point.
Moment is calculated by multiplying the force applied to an object by the distance from the pivot point to the point where the force is applied.
Moment is a general term used to describe a force's tendency to cause rotation, while torque specifically refers to the measure of that force.
Moment and torque are used in various applications such as engineering, construction, and sports. They are essential in designing structures, machines, and equipment that require a certain amount of force to rotate or turn. Examples include door hinges, wrenches, and see-saws.
