  2. Moment (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moment_(physics)

    Moments are usually defined with respect to a fixed reference point and refer to physical quantities located some distance from the reference point. For example, the moment of force, often called torque, is the product of a force on an object and the distance from the reference point to the object. In principle, any physical quantity can be ...

  3. Bending moment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bending_moment

    For equilibrium, the moment created by external forces/moments must be balanced by the couple induced by the internal loads. The resultant internal couple is called the bending moment while the resultant internal force is called the shear force (if it is transverse to the plane of element) or the normal force (if it is along the plane of the ...

  4. Couple (mechanics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Couple_(mechanics)

    In other words, a couple, unlike any more general moments, is a "free vector". (This fact is called Varignon's Second Moment Theorem.) [2] The proof of this claim is as follows: Suppose there are a set of force vectors F 1, F 2, etc. that form a couple, with position vectors (about some origin P), r 1, r 2, etc., respectively. The moment about P is

  5. Moment of inertia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moment_of_inertia

    Note on second moment of area: The moment of inertia of a body moving in a plane and the second moment of area of a beam's cross-section are often confused. The moment of inertia of a body with the shape of the cross-section is the second moment of this area about the z {\displaystyle z} -axis perpendicular to the cross-section, weighted by its ...

  7. Angular momentum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angular_momentum

    As an example, consider decreasing of the moment of inertia, e.g. when a figure skater is pulling in their hands, speeding up the circular motion. In terms of angular momentum conservation, we have, for angular momentum L , moment of inertia I and angular velocity ω : 0 = d L = d ( I ⋅ ω ) = d I ⋅ ω + I ⋅ d ω {\displaystyle 0=dL=d(I ...

  8. Free body diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_body_diagram

    In physics and engineering, a free body diagram (FBD; also called a force diagram) [1] is a graphical illustration used to visualize the applied forces, moments, and resulting reactions on a free body in a given condition. It depicts a body or connected bodies with all the applied forces and moments, and reactions, which act on the body(ies).

  9. Electron magnetic moment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_magnetic_moment

    In atomic physics, the electron magnetic moment, or more specifically the electron magnetic dipole moment, is the magnetic moment of an electron resulting from its intrinsic properties of spin and electric charge. The value of the electron magnetic moment (symbol μ e) is −9.284 764 6917 (29) × 10 −24 J⋅T −1. [1]
