Question

Why do objects located further away from pivot have a greater moment?

Answer 1

because us equal to the anticlockwise moment about that pivot.If the object are balanced:clockwise.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is when an object placed on something narrow object that can act as a pivot too fir example a plank placed on a brick.Finally the edges or the curve

Answer 2

Moment about a point= force × perpendicular distance

When an object is further from the pivot, the perpendicular distance of the object from the pivot increases. Since moment is the product of the force and the perpendicular distance, when the perpendicular distance increase, the moment increases too. Thus, objects located further away from the pivot have a greater moment.
