    The turning effect of a force is called a “moment”. We work it out


    using
    Moment = Force x Distance
    (Nm) (N) (m)i
    The force must be in Newtons (N), the distance in metres (m), and
    we measure moments in “Newton Metres”(Nm). Sometimes the
    distance may be in (cm) in test questions so BE CAREFUL!

    1. What is the moment of this force ?

    For a see-saw to balance, the moments on each side must be the
    same. For each of these, write “balanced” or “unbalanced”.
