Answer:

Moment of force (often just moment) is a measure of its tendency to cause a body to rotate about a specific point or axis.

OR

A force that tends to cause rotation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The unit for moment is N/m(newton per meter).

The formula for moment of force(also known as torque) is:

T= r.F sinθ

To make force as a subject,

T = r.F sinθ

T/r = F sinθ

F = T / r sinθ
