About Moment of Force

Moment of force (M) is the tendency of a force to rotate an object about an axis. It is calculated as the product of force and the perpendicular distance from the axis to the line of action of the force.

The SI unit of moment of force is newton meter (N·m). Other common units include pound force foot (lbf·ft), kilogram force meter (kgf·m), and dyne centimeter (dyn·cm).
