Pick the ○ next to the value you want to find, fill in the others, and it solves as you type.
What each letter means
| Quantity | Unit |
|---|---|
| Moment | N m |
| Force | N |
| Distance to the pivot | m |
Worked example
Find the moment when Force = 60 N, Distance to the pivot = 0.5 m.
Using M = F d: Moment = 30 N m.
Frequently asked questions
What is the formula for Moment of a force?
M = F d.
What do the letters stand for, and what units are used?
Moment in N m, Force in N, Distance to the pivot in m.
How do you calculate moment?
Put the values into M = F d. For example, with Force = 60 N, Distance to the pivot = 0.5 m, moment = 30 N m.
Can I solve for a different value?
Yes. In the calculator above, pick the circle next to any value (moment, force, distance to the pivot) and fill in the others: it rearranges the formula for you.
