Lesson: Chapter 11 — Turning Effect of a Force

11.1. Moment of a force 11 of 16

Question 11

How is the direction of the moment of a force stated?

The right answer is the one marked above.

Clockwise or anticlockwise. The direction of a moment is decided by the way the force turns the body, so there are only two possibilities.

"Left" and "right" are how the direction of a force is described. A moment is described by comparing it with the hands of a clock.
