  2. Newton-metre - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton-metre

    The newton-metre or newton-meter (also non-hyphenated, newton metre or newton meter; symbol N⋅m [1] or N m [1]) [a] is the unit of torque (also called moment) in the International System of Units (SI). One newton-metre is equal to the torque resulting from a force of one newton applied perpendicularly to the end of a moment arm that is one ...

  3. Moment (physics) - Wikipedia

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

    The moment of force, or torque, is a first moment: =, or, more generally, .; Similarly, angular momentum is the 1st moment of momentum: =.Momentum itself is not a moment.; The electric dipole moment is also a 1st moment: = for two opposite point charges or () for a distributed charge with charge density ().

  4. Moment (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    In mathematics, the moments of a function are certain quantitative measures related to the shape of the function's graph.If the function represents mass density, then the zeroth moment is the total mass, the first moment (normalized by total mass) is the center of mass, and the second moment is the moment of inertia.

  5. Moment (unit) - Wikipedia

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

    A moment (momentum) is a medieval unit of time. The movement of a shadow on a sundial covered 40 moments in a solar hour , a twelfth of the period between sunrise and sunset . The length of a solar hour depended on the length of the day, which, in turn, varied with the season . [ 1 ]

  6. Balance of angular momentum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balance_of_angular_momentum

    The area rule is a corollary of the angular momentum law in the form: The resulting moment is equal to the product of twice the mass and the time derivative of the areal velocity. [ 10 ] It refers to the ray r → {\displaystyle {\vec {r}}} to a point mass with mass m .

  7. Newton (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton_(unit)

    A newton is defined as 1 kg⋅m/s 2 (it is a named derived unit defined in terms of the SI base units). [1]: 137 One newton is, therefore, the force needed to accelerate one kilogram of mass at the rate of one metre per second squared in the direction of the applied force.

  8. Unit of time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_of_time

    1/1000 d (0.001 d) 1.44 minutes, or 86.4 seconds. Also marketed as a ".beat" by the Swatch corporation. moment: 1/40 solar hour (90 s on average) Medieval unit of time used by astronomers to compute astronomical movements, length varies with the season. [4] Also colloquially refers to a brief period of time. centiday 0.01 d (1 % of a day)

  9. Conjugate beam method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conjugate_beam_method

    Consequently, from Theorems 1 and 2, the conjugate beam must be supported by a pin or a roller, since this support has zero moment but has a shear or end reaction. When the real beam is fixed supported, both the slope and displacement are zero. Here the conjugate beam has a free end, since at this end there is zero shear and zero moment.
