Question

What is the difference between turning effect of force and moment of force?

Answer 1

moment of force is represented as moment
turning effect of force is called torque
1.“Moment” is a concept of engineering and physics that refers to the tendency of a force to move an object while torque is the tendency of a force to rotate an object in a pivot.
2.Moment is the perpendicular distance between the point of rotation and the force’s line of action while torque is a measure of the turning force of an object.
3.Torque is used to measure coupling while moment is not.
4.Both torque and moment have the Newton meter as the SI unit; torque is presented as Nm/revolution while moment is presented as Nm.
5.Moment is a static force while torque is a movement force.
