In physics, a moment refers to the measure of the tendency of a force to cause rotation about a point or axis. It is calculated as the product of the force and the distance from the point of rotation (moment arm). Moments can be classified as clockwise or counterclockwise, and they play a crucial role in understanding equilibrium and rotational dynamics. The unit of moment is typically expressed in Newton-meters (Nm).
