A measure of the turning effect produced by a force about an axis. The magnitude of the moment is the product of the force and the perpendicular distance from the axis to the line of action of the force. An object will be in rotational equilibrium if the algebraic sum of all the moments of the forces on it about any axis is zero.
Moment of a force. For equilibrium mgb+F2(b+c)=F1 a, where mg is the weight of the beam acting through its centre of mass.
