Calculating Moments (OCR GCSE Physics A (Gateway Science Suite)): Flashcards

$M = Fd$

Anticlockwise moment = Clockwise moment

$F_1 \times d_1 = F_2 \times d_2$

Perpendicular to distance from pivot

Nm (Newton metres)

$1.6$ Nm

Moments are equal

Draw a diagram

$d_1 = \frac{F_2 \times d_2}{F_1}$

$6.4m$
