Explain the Principle of Moments.
The moment of a force about any point is defined as the force x perpendicular distance from the line of action of the force to the point - moment = F x d the unit is Nm.
Principle of moments states that for a body in equilibrium the sum of clockwise moments = sum of anticlockwise moments about any point.
