The moment of a force measures the turning
effect of the force on the body on which it is acting
The moment of a force F about a point P is the product of the magnitude of the force
and the perpendicular distance of the line of action of the force from the point P
The magnitude of the force is measured in newtons (N) and the distance is measured
in metres (m), so the moment of the force is measured in newton-metres (Nm)
