Answer:

M = F × d

  1. M = F × dM = moment in newton metres (Nm)
  2. M = F × dM = moment in newton metres (Nm)F = force in newtons (N)
  3. M = F × dM = moment in newton metres (Nm)F = force in newtons (N)d = perpendicular distance of the force to the pivot in metres (m)

I hope it will be helpful for you.
