Moment

The tendency of a force to rotate an object about a point. Sometimes referred to as a torque. It is usually a vector quantity whose magnitude is expressed in Newton meters, pound feet, etc.

The moment vector at a point is given by the cross product of the position vector and the force vector. The magnitude of a moment about a specific axis is given by the cross product of the position vector and the force vector, dotted with the unit vector along the specified axis.

The moment vector is always perpendicular to both the position vector and the force vector, as it is a cross product.
