Lesson: Moment of a Force about a Point in 3D Mathematics

Start Practising

In this lesson, we will learn how to find the moment of vector forces acting on a body about a point in 3D.

Lesson Plan

Students will be able to

express the moment of a force as a vector,
find the moment of a force (or system of forces) in 3D when given the magnitude and direction of the forces acting on the system and the 3D coordinates of the relevant points,
find the moment of a force (or system of forces) in 3D when given the forces acting on the system, expressed on a diagram.
