Pressure and Moments

Pressure and Moments. Pressure - In solids If a force is applied over a smaller surface area you get a larger pressure. Pressure can be calculated using the following equation:. Newtons N. m 2. Pascals or N/m 2. Pressure - In liquids.

  1. Pressure and Moments

  2. Pressure - In solids If a force is applied over a smaller surface area you get a larger pressure. Pressure can be calculated using the following equation: Newtons N m2 Pascals or N/m2

  3. Pressure - In liquids All hydraulics systems work because the pressure is the same throughout the system.

  4. Moments Moments make things turn or rotate.  They are causedby forces but are not forces themselves. The moment will be bigger if: The force causing the turning effect is bigger. The force is further from the pivot.

  5. Calculating the size of a moment Moment = Force x Distance Newtons N m Nm

  6. BALANCED Net moment is zero Anti-clockwise Moment = Clockwise Moment
