Moments | Forces & Motion | Physics | FuseSchool

Think of a spanner loosening a fixed nut, or a child on a seesaw, or a door opening around a fixed hinge. All of these things are connected by something called moments…

A moment is the turning force around a fixed pivot. The pivot is the nut, or the middle of the seesaw, or the hinge. We can have one moment acting, which results in a turning force… Or if something is balanced, or in equilibrium, the moments are equal and opposite. To be balanced, this lighter child needs to sit further away from the pivot. And the heavier child needs to be closer. This is because the size of a moment is determined by the force and a distance.

This taught me better than an hour lesson ty so much

[bhargavasaie]

My teacher took 30 minutes to teach but i learnt nothing but now this 3 minutes video cleared everything

[aetherinthestars]

i'd been struggling over this with nothing but my textbook, thank you so much! this really helped me understand it better, and now im feeling slightly more uplifted for my physics exam tomorrow <3

Some people are just gifted teachers. They can take a complex physics theory, strip it down to it's most basic principals and then present it in an easily understood visual like this to remove the mystery. Thank you for taking the time to create and post same.

this is helped me more than my physics teacher did. Thank you Fuseschool

who has to watch this for online school during CoRoNa TiMe

[bynkro]

Amazing animations and explanation without being annoying .. unlike certain other groups (I will not name names here..) We would love to see more mechanics stuff!

[TheNigttimeNightmare]

Tysm! I got the concept, and can (hopefully) do well in a test I have tmrw😙

[xkyyy.]

This video is literally a life saver...I’ve been hving online lessons and didn’t even paid any attention to what my teacher had said....and now i knew nothing

[ashleyashleyku]

We're all watching this a day right before exams? nice

[themayor]

Damn I just learnt how to calculate moments in less than 10 minutes wow. 🤝🤝

[sharminahmed]

This helped me a lot more than my online classes. Thanks a lot.

[vidhur.examprep]

THANKS U TAUGHT ME THIS TOPIC A DAY BEFORE MY PHYSICS EXAM IF I DINT KNOW THIS I WOULD HAVE BEEN COOKED

[sarahantony]

Beautiful animation! Lovely explanation! And I finally understood this!

[mansouralredaini]

The best explanation, less than 3 minutes, I understood this in 2 minutes and 34 second but in my school i took 3 days but not understood

[dr.shirishdhobe]

It was really helpful to understand concept without reading 6-7 pages of theory

[HirenSoneji]

amazing though its better than half of the teachers from my school

[musakamil]

who here found this video useful instead of doing a 30min+ lesson?

[j_abdullamohamedabdulla]

my teacher took a week on this topic and i learned small think and confused but this in 2:34 minutes explained every think, , thanks alot, , who is here in corona time (online classes)

[blackthunderyt]

thank you sir this gave me a clear concept. God Bless You!😇
