The moment of a force is the measure of its turning effect.
The moment of a force about a point increases when its perpendicular distance from the point from the point increases.
The moment of a force about a point is equal to: force x perpendicular distance from the point.
The moment of a force about a point increases when its perpendicular distance from the point from the point decreases.
