|
|
Moment = perpendicular distance / force
|
|
|
Moment = force / perpendicular distance
|
|
|
Moment = force x perpendicular distance
|
|
|
None of the above

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -It is important to remember that the distance d is the perpendicular distance from the pivot to the line of action of the force (see diagram).
Detailed explanation-2: -Linear momentum is a product of the mass (m) of an object and the velocity (v) of the object. If an object has higher momentum, then it harder to stop it. The formula for linear momentum is p = mv. The total amount of momentum never changes, and this property is called conservation of momentum.
