moment of a force about a point is the product of the magnitude of the force and the perpendicular distance from the point to the action line of the force. |
Moment of a force |
|
moment of a force about a point is the same as the moment sum of its component about the same point. |

tangent to the surface in contact. |
Friction |
|
tangent of the angle is equal to the coefficient of friction. |
