Moment Calculator

Calculate moments about a point from multiple forces

Moment Calculator

Calculate the total moment about a point. CCW is positive, CW is negative.

Force (N)Distance (m)Direction
Total Moment (M)
50.0000 N·m
Net direction: Counter-clockwise

Formula

M = Σ(F × d)
= 100×2 − 50×3 N·m
= 50.0000 N·m
