A block of mass 5kg is placed on the end of a meter rule on the end of a table. Calculate the moment that is produced by the block.

1.Moment=Force x Distance2.Convert mass into weight (x9.81)3.Times the weight by the distance from the pivot point.4.If done correctly the answer should be 49.06NKg (Don't forget units).
