Learning goals
  • Describe a moment as a force's turning effect in everyday examples
  • Apply moment = force × perpendicular distance from the pivot
  • Apply the principle of moments to new situations and problems
  • Treat the weight of a body as acting at a single point, its centre of gravity
  • Explain qualitatively how centre-of-gravity position affects stability
