GCSE Physics - How Moments Work - Spanners and Seesaws #46

The video tutorial explains the concept of moments, which are the rotational effects of forces. It covers how moments can be calculated using the equation: moment = force x perpendicular distance. The tutorial also discusses how different forces and distances affect the size of a moment, and how moments can balance each other out, such as on a seesaw. Examples are provided to illustrate these concepts, including calculations for generating specific moments and balancing forces.

Explain the difference between clockwise and anticlockwise moments.

What happens when two moments acting on the same object are equal?

How do you find the distance needed to balance a seesaw with given moments?
