Moments
A
moment
is
the
____________________
effect
of
a
force
around
a
fixed
point
called
a
____________________
.
For
example
,
this
could
be
a
door
opening
around
a
fixed
____________________
or
a
____________________
turning
around
a
fixed
nut
.
The
size
of
a
moment
depends
on
____________________
factors
:
the
size
of
the
____________________
applied
the
____________________
distance
from
the
pivot
to
the
line
of
action
of
the
____________________
This
explains
why
____________________
force
is
needed
to
open
a
door
by
pushing
at
the
side
____________________
from
the
hinge
than
at
the
side
____________________
to
the
hinge
.
To
push
at
the
hinge
side
of
the
door
requires
____________________
force
to
be
exerted
because
the
distance
is
____________________
.
A
____________________
can
be
calculated
using
this
equation
:
M
=
____________________
×
____________________
where
:
M
=
the
moment
of
the
force
in
newton
-
metres
,
____________________
F
=
the
force
in
newtons
,
____________________
d
=
the
perpendicular
distance
from
the
line
of
action
of
the
force
to
the
pivot
in
