Which statement about the moment of a force is not correct?


  • 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.
