Moments+&+levers

 Moments & Levers Moment is used to describe a bending force on a beam. For example, moment is used to explain the **mass** imposed on the **axis** of the beam.

Within moments there is something called the **moment arm**, this is the distance from the axis of rotation.

D = distance which means the moment arm G = gravitational force W = weight upon the beam



The fulcrum is the center of the pivitation.
